I fished January 21-22 and February 18-19. First trip found tons of fish but struggled to get them to bite. Second trip was the opposite, struggled to find fish but when we did they were fairly cooperative. Lots of bait and lots of suspended fish both trips. most of the fish we caught both trips were in the 20-22" range. went out of Pruden creek both weekends and fished the area between pruden and just west of the mouth covering 8-26'. First trip they were deeper, second trip shallower was better. Lots of trucks around the mouth and west accessing from warner road. Pruden was tracks only. Lots of large areas of jagged ice but if you can avoid those travel was possible with trucks but to limited areas. licenses are available online now. I don't think bait shops even sell them anymore. Rattle baits did ok but I had better luck with large spoons. Border crossing is back to normal.

Well it was somewhat slow for us. We ended with two masters (30” & 28.5”), plus a 27.5” and a handful of mid 20’s.

It wasn’t our best trip up there, but it was still worth it. It was still a lot of fun.

On the 3rd day, half of our group went up North and got into a mess of eaters-mid 20’s walleye, plus a bunch of burbot.

Met @Jigaman up there. Always fun meeting the NDA folk!!

Looking forward to the next adventure up there.

It was nice to finally meet the ring leader! @Vollmer

Similar luck for us. Only fished Saturday and the two of us caught about 15 fish. a few dinks, a few eaters, four between 21-23" and a 26.5". Weather was awesome and even got a sunburn. Large spoons caught a few but most the bigger fish came on lipless cranks which included the good ol Snooty Patooty!

tons of trucks out all the way to the mouth. Very doable with good tires and some common sense but you will be limited to where you can travel. There are plenty of rough ice areas that collected a lot of snow that you would have to navigate around. Access from Warner road was rough but pretty good.
