**Ice Road Update**
Due to the fluctuating temperatures and the condition of our ice road we have closed our road to all vehicles. We are NO LONGER allowing mid-size SUV's out and we have put restrictions on wheel house sizes--NO bigger than 17' wheel houses will be allowed out. These houses must be hauled out with an ATV or side by side.
Once again, our ice road is only open to ATVs, side-by-sides, and snowmobiles. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We will keep you posted on when we will be opening the road back up to larger vehicles. Our number one concern is the safety of our customers. Thank you and Good Luck!

ICE AND FISHING REPORT
The much anticipated report is in--we have anywhere from 13.5-19" of ice on our road.
Our road is now open to midsize SUVs, such as Jeeps, Trailblazers, Explorers, etc. These vehicles are able to pull out any size wheel house--we have lifted all restrictions on wheelhouse sizes. At this time we are NOT allowing 1/2 ton trucks out. We will hopefully be opening our road to 1/2 ton trucks on Friday, December 30th.
The bite is still hot in 22-25'--lots of eaters and nice slot Walleyes! Orange/gold and pink/gold have been the hot colors!
Thank you for your patience! Have fun and be safe!

Updated Ice and Fishing Report
Groups are doing well across the board! Anywhere from 15-25' has been producing nice eaters and slot Walleyes. Great fishing all around and depth hardly seems to play a part. Groups in shallow are dealing with some slush under the ice, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the activity.
We currently have 11-16" of ice. We're still only allowing ATVs, side by sides, and snowmobiles out. However, we have opened our road up to 16' wheel houses. These houses MUST be pulled out by an ATV or side by side. We'd like to see a little more consistency in ice thickness before we allow larger vehicles out.
Be safe, have fun, and good luck!

May 27th, 2016: FISHING REPORT:
There is a great bite at Zipple Bay right now in 20-24'. We have been spending our mornings and evenings at Pine Island in 7-14' slow drifting jigs. Lots of nice eater fish coming out of there, providing our groups with a great fish fry for shore lunch or dinner! If you're able to make the trek up to Knight or Bridges we have been seeing a lot of nice slot Walleyes in 20-27'.
The hot colors are gold, white, chartreuse, orange and gold, and a combination of purple, gold, and pink on the cloudy days!

The first report of the season is in!
Fishing in 17-19' of water in Four Mile Bay with orange, gold, or pink jigs tipped with frozen shiners is producing nice eaters and a many slot Walleyes. Also, right in front of Morris Point has been decent in about 14-16'.
We've got our first guided trip tomorrow! Captain Brent is more than ready!

Dustin and Jason have been staying with us for just over a week now and believe us, they have plenty more pictures of beautiful fish they've caught and released throughout their stay! Nice work boys! Thank you for your business! Keep on, keepin' on!
Unfortunately, Bostic Bay still has a little bit of ice which makes the access to Lake of the Woods a no go. Many people have been putting their boats in at Wheeler's Point, Timber Mill Park, and Birchdale, just to name a few. The water clarity is getting better and with the warm temps next week the water temp should go up a few degrees as well. The Walleye bite has been a consistent one. Many eater fish (14-18") with a couple beautiful trophy Walleyes! The Sturgeon bite has been great up and down the Rainy River as well.

ICE AND FISHING REPORT:
As March continues to heat up our road is becoming a bit sloppy with standing water and slush. However, we do still have 18-20" of ice where we are traveling and fishing. These next couple days are going to be the deciding factor in whether we will be fishing this weekend or not. We are expecting rain showers throughout the day today and a high of 43 degrees.
As of today (3/8), we are no longer allowing 1 ton trucks on our road. 3/4 tons are able to h...aul up to 16' only and 1/2 tons are able to haul up to 21'. Please stay in touch as these guidelines may change in the next couple days.

Fishing has been a bit spotty. Some groups have been limiting out while others have only been able to catch a couple for dinner. Staying aggressive is key.
It won't be too long until we are open water fishing! Beginning April 1-May 9 ALL Cyrus Resort cabins are just $45 per person, per night!

ICE AND FISHING REPORT:
We have opened our road to all 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton trucks. HOWEVER, 1/2 ton trucks are the ONLY trucks able to haul up to 21' wheelhouses.
We have plowed multiple rows about 10 miles from the lodge for wheelhouses to set up if they wish. We currently have about 16-20" of ice where we are traveling and fishing. Our ice road is a total of 13.6 miles from the lodge.
Fishing has been a little slow but, every day is a new day! Being aggressive and persistent, along with using electronics is vital during this time.
Good luck out there! Stay warm and fish on!

FISHING AND ICE REPORT:
Fishing has slowed down a bit since the beginning of the season. You have to work to get your bucket full but, as long as your're working for it you'll come back to shore with about 12-18 fish in the pail. We are having a lot more luck with the smaller jigs (glow worms, flying ants, mouse traps, jig n eye, etc.) topped with small minnows. Orange/black, pink, gold, and glow colors are hot! A lot of good dinner Saugers to be caught and some nice slot Walleyes!

We are still only allowing up to 3/4 ton trucks out but, they cannot haul anything. 1/2 ton trucks are able to haul wheel houses 16' and under. We have a plowed ice road out about 9 miles from the lodge and 8 miles from Morris Point.
There's currently 14-16" of ice where we are traveling and fishing but, we are still finding areas with 10" off of our plowed road. Once again, use caution and stay on the staked trail. Good luck out there!

ICE REPORT:
Today we have opened our road up to 3/4 ton trucks. Unfortunately, we are not allowing any 1 tons quite yet. All 1/2 ton trucks are able to haul out wheelhouses 16' and under but, nothing can be hauled in the beds of the trucks.
We have plowed rows for wheelhouses to set up if they wish, about 6 miles out. Our road is a total of 9 miles out from the lodge.
We currently have 14-16" of ice. There are some spots just off of our road where we are finding about 10" so we ask that you stay close to the areas that we have plowed and to use caution.
Fishing has been picking up the deeper we go. We are in about 33-34' right now. Flying ants topped with minnow heads are on fire and the hot colors are pink and gold.

ICE REPORT:
BEGINNING ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 21ST:
We will be opening our ice road up to all half ton trucks. RESTRICTIONS: All portables must be hauled in the bed of the truck, NO trailers OR wheelhouses can be attached to the trucks and NO ATV's in the bed of the trucks.
We are allowing wheelhouses out that have an actual manufacturer size of 16' or less. They MUST be hauled out with small vehicles (jeeps, geos, trackers, etc.).
We have about 12.5-15" of ice where we are traveling and fishing. Our ice road is about 6-7 miles out from the lodge (roughly 5.5 miles from Pine Island). Fishing has been a little slower due to the low temps. We are expecting temps to climb near 30 degrees this week so, hopefully the bite picks back up.
Please, respect the road when you are using it. Do not exceed speeds of 20 mph and stay on the staked trail.

ICE UPDATE:

As soon as we see a steady 15-18" of ice we will open the road up to trucks and wheelhouses. We would love to open the road up (trust us) but, safety first!
We are fishing in depths of 27-32' and the hot colors are gold, pink, chartreuse, and 1/8 oz. white.

The fish bite has been a little slow because of the low temps but, with consistancy in tempratures we expect the bite to pick back up here soon.
We will not be letting out any half ton trucks quite yet. We are waiting for a solid and consistant 15" of ice before we do so.

What a wonderful weeekend we had here at Cyrus Resort! Lots of action on and off shore! Jigging spoons topped with shiner heads are working well.
Where we have been traveling there's about 10" of solid ice. Our ice road is open for all snowmobiles, ATVs, and UTVs. We are not allowing any wheelhouses out quite yet.
We have also been providing transportation for anyone who may have portables. It is just $20 per person for a round trip! We just ask that you call the resort to schedule a ride. Rides available at 8AM, 12PM, and 5PM.
