Ice fishing up north

[Lapper]

I am driving from Minot to Grand Forks tomorrow morning. I am staying the night in GF but would love to stop somewhere along the way to fish for a few hours. Ive never fished anywhere in that area and am not sure of my options. I know Devils Lake is along the way but being that is such a huge body of water, ice conditions scare me a bit and wouldn't have any idea where to start. Any other suggestions as to a body of water I should stop at to skunk around for a while? Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you want some pike I can get you to a spot on 6 mile that is about 2 miles off Hwy 2 and very accessible.

Try off of the six mile sunken road or the east end off of wood rutten road. Great December spots

I gave Laretta a try. Took me a while to figure out the access. I had a great time. Thanks for the advice! One small perch and one nice pike that went on several long runs. It was a fun fight?

6 inches. I fished in about 20 feet of water.
