Ice fishing
« on: December 08, 2006, 09:28:49 AM »
Has anyone been on the ice yet?  Was wondering if it were thick enough to fish on up around Chetek and Rice Lake.  Hate to make the drive if I can't get out yet.

Hard to say I am sure the cold weather has been making ice but the 32 + degrees forcast for the next week I do not think will help any. You might want to find a bait shop in the area and call them.  :)  I have no idea if any one has been out yet or not. I do not get too reved about ice fishing unless I can fish in a warm shack. Now days I cannot stand the cold due to poor circulation due to the diabeties I have since 97.  >:(
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

Talked to a friend on the ice today. Ten miles north of Rice Lake there is 8" of solid ice. I seen an atv on this lake also.

Thanks Cheese - I believe I'll head up that way come Friday.  Things came up and I couldn't get out on Saturday.

Drove by Long Lake in Washburn County, west of Birchwood and seen several fisherman and some shacks today.

We are making ice today. It is 8:30 am and still 22 degrees below zero. Maybe try ice fishing next weekend on Chequamegon Bay, I am sure the ice will be a little thicker by then.
