9/17/2024 Walleye fishing continues to be slow. DNR test nets for bait fish results show extremely high numbers of perch, tullibees and young walleyes.

As water temps drop later in the fall the walleye bite normally improves. Smallmouth bass fishing most days continues to be good. Some northern pike and muskies are being caught they to are slower than normal due to the extremely high bait fish population.

02/16/2024. A truck and wheelhouse went through the ice this morning at Rocky Reef in thirty feet of water. We have only let ATV’S and Snowmobiles go out on the ice this winter. I do not believe that the ice is safe for trucks or cars to be driving on the ice this winter. We have not allowed any cars or trucks on the ice this winter and we are not going to allow it for the balance of the winter. We checked ice out one mile this morning and consistently found 12 inches but there is 8 to 9 inches of black ice with 3 to 4 inches being white ice which has no strength. People have been going to the Mud flats on ATV’S and snowmobiles. There is no snow on the lake we did not get any snow the other day when it snowed in the Twin Cities.
