2010/11 was quite a year for standing on some ice and fishing out of a hole. We were busy at the lodge all winter, but still managed to make some time to get out on lakes that normally I wouldn't fish. We caught little fish, many fish, and of course big fish. Our good ice didn't really get going until early December, and the good ice stayed till about the 25th of April. After this point, it was tread carefully.
We had several groups come up and stay at the lodge in May and April for ice fishing trips. Every group went home very happy, having had some excellent days of fishing. One fellow caught his first ever master angler walleye, and a few caught their very first lake trout.
Personally, probably my favorite spot to ice fish last year was on Wekusko Lake. I did a lot of scouting in the summer months and marked up my GPS with potential areas. Not all areas were great, but most held fish in the winter, and some days were just magical. But every year is different - so we'll see what happens in 2012.
If you are wanting to try something different, think about coming up in March or April to catch one of the monarchs right below you.
