Any ice reports?

[Bob]

I was at Beaver Bay again yesterday, 12/15/25 and this is the one south of Bismarck. 9" to 10" of ice but it seems cloudy type of ice. There was a golf cart cruising around and a 4 wheeler dragging a hard shell hunting blind on skids. They had ventured way out towards the main channel. I'm not quite ready to go that far. Fishing was slow, one smaller pike, one walleye and one perch for an afternoon of fishing. Good luck to all and be safe.

Drove from Dickinson to Fargo to Sioux Falls today. I didn't see a single person fishing.

40 mph winds may have kept people from going, maybe ? Diehards are usually out regardless.

We stopped and had lunch at proz lakeside restaurant in Devils Lake. Snow bears, ice castles, small trucks and cars all over creel bay.

Anyone have an ice report for Ashtabula or VC area?

 

[wslayer]

If no snow cover like around Jmst, I would say easily 10+". Measured 12" today

If 45 miles NW is close enough, we drug our skid shack out with a tracked Ranger this afternoon. A solid 11-12 inches 300 yards out.

sounds like alkaline been producing? I was at davis yesterday and ice is a good 8 inches maybe more, mostly clear. Fishing was slow, everyone left early. I had one up to the hole and it got off.

That's been the rumor. We didn't find anything but little walleye. however, a guy did post post on Facebook yesterday that he did well out there. I don't know what I did to piss off the fish gods, but they have not been nice to me lately.

I checked some netting reports yesterday and they were from this year.

Netting report shows mostly walleye and less than year before. Hardly any pike or perch. It’s been slow but some are being caught.

Anybody tried ice fishing at VanHook?

I’m on east park today, 13 in of ice but I ended up fishing canal instead of getting on actual lake due to a pressure ridge and using ATV

Multiple full size pickups on several lakes along Hwy 200. Hurdsfield Lake had 3 big trucks in the center all next to each other.
