Lady winter finally arrived and she brought -20 temperatures with her! With that we’ve gained a couple inches of ice and are now sitting at 20+” on the areas being fished and traveled.  That two day span of sub zero temps did make those fish pickier, but limits and big fish are still coming in strong.  Anywhere from 7-10 miles north of Pine Island to roughly 31-33 feet of water extending the entire south shore over to  Arnesens, we are seeing a great deal of action. Using gold or glow red has been successful. We are seeing some walleyes suspended so using electronics are helpful.
Up at the Angle, we are still seeing a great mix of species.  Walleyes, sauger, pike, crappies, whitefish and smallmouth bass.  Walleyes/sauger are in 27-29 feet of water and of course gold being the hot color.
The snowmobile/lake trail from the south end of the lake near Sportsman's Lodge to the Oak Island and the NW angle is groomed, marked and is in great condition.  The trail from Warroad is not marked and no travel is advised at this time.
