The temperatures have fluctuated from day to day the past couple weeks and the change in weather can cause the ice to fluctuate daily. With recent winds and warmer temperatures, there are quite a few lakes that have opened up. The ice thickness can vary on each lake, with ice heaves showing up periodically. At this point, we do not recommend truck traffic. Please use caution, and do not travel alone.
Once the weather warms up and we start seeing open water fishing, we'll update the reports regularly. Book your summer fishing trip today!
Make sure to check out our Fishing Guide Members here and our Lodging Members here to book your next fishing trip.
