One important tip for ice fishing in early February is to consider downsizing lure size and presentations, as the fish can become very selective during mid-winter.

Our 2023 open water season kicked off in early May on our regular Northern Pike and Walleye lakes. For the first half of May, the water temps were below average, and the ice held on very late into April which in turn kept the temps down.
