Ice fishing has been good. The lake is frozen but areas might be unsafe. People are ice fishing. Rain is expected this week, which might soften ice. There is an ice fishing group on Facebook and Instagram that updates the ice fishing in this area. For recent updates on fishing, you can call the resort at 1-866-201-4194.

Fishing for yellow perch is your best bet while ice fishing. The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Water temperatures will be very cold and likely freezing in early mornings.

You can also visit their website to observe current conditions at the lake.  Scroll down and click on the right side video link for a live video of current conditions on the lake at the Lodge.
