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:


Unfortunately, we have nothing new to report. We are still seeing anywhere from 11-14" of ice on the bay and lake. We are allowing vehicles 5000 lbs. or less out (small SUV's, trackers, jeeps, etc.) and wheelhouses 16' or less. ALL wheelhouses must be hauled out with an ATV.


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.

Beware...beauties ahead!



ICE UPDATE:


Cyrus Resort's ice road is NOW open to all small SUV's and vehicles with a GVWR of 5000 lbs or less. We are also allowing wheelhouses out BUT, no bigger than 16' and they MUST be hauled out with an ATV.

There is anywhere from 10.5-14" of ice on the bay and lake. We ask that guests using the ice road stick to a speed limit of 10 MPH and not to vere from the staked trail.

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.
