Ice Report 12/23/25

We want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We have had a busy few days here a the shop because we have AWESOME conditions on our are lakes. Most lakes are seeing around 12" of good, strong, black ice, and with the warm up last week there is virtually zero snow on the lakes. We are seeing a lot of permanent houses going out with ATV's, and are just starting to see a good amount of vehicles on the ice. As always, be careful, and check conditions on your way out and on your way back in. Overall, however, ice conditions really couldn't get any better as we finish out the month of December.

Fishing has been good, with shoreline breaks, points, and mid-lake structure producing walleye on Big Pine, Little Pine, Rush, Otter tail, Star, and other are lakes. The low light conditions of morning and evening have been producing well. Most walleyes are being caught in 14-23 feet of water.

We are excited to be back on the ice, and we have the store stocked up with all the latest and greatest in the ice fishing world. Make sure to stop in and ask one of our staff members to assist you, and we will make sure to get you set up with exactly what you need!

We expect the next week to be busy with the holiday weekend, and we are stocked up on Golden Shiners, Small, Medium, and Large Suckers, Decoy Suckers, Fatheads, Crappies, River Mix, as well as wax worms.

We will be open Christmas Eve from 7:00-2:00, CLOSED CHRISTMAS DAY, and back open for normal hours on Friday, December 26th.

Happy Fishing Everybody, and Merry Christmas!
