Ice Report from Saturday 11/23/13

The bay ice is here to stay! Roger checked Bostic Bay today and we have 5-7 inches of ice all the way to Morris Point! The lake has ice as far as the eye can see. Most likely only an inch or two (not safe to venture out). We are expecting cold temperatures for the next few days so hopefully we will be fishing soon! More updates coming soon!!

The ice is coming

I am happy to report that Bostic Bay is completely frozen over. In areas the ice is very thin, but other spots look to be about an inch thick.
It doesn't look like the main lake is freezing yet. That is probably because of the strong winds we have had lately.
The weather forecast shows us staying around freezing for the high over the next few days. That should be really good for making ice.
Stay tuned! We will keep you up to date on any condition changes and anticipation of dates for first ice.

Hard water coming soon

Thank you for a great summer! Our lodge is currently closed. We will be reopening December 5th. We are still renting cabins at a discounted rate of $40per person per night.

Current Fishing Report -

Fishing continues strong this week on both the lake and river. As water temps continue to cool, walleye are becoming more active following the food source. Plenty of eaters and fish to fill limits on the lake. Anchor and jig in 18-24 feet at Lighthouse Gap, 4 Mile Bay, or Long Point. Light colors such as white and glow have been best tipped with a frozen shiner.
On the Rainy River, the shiners and walleye continue their journey upstream. Fish are on from the Gap to Birchdale; hot spots including the Airport and Frontier landing. Anchor and jig with a gold spinner on a bottom bouncer or pink jigs tipped with live minnows. Try 12-16 feet or 19-21. Reportedly, the best bite has been just before dark, but fish have been on all day.
