We’ve got ice on Bostic Creek! This is the view from our landing this evening where our ice road runs out of! The creek isn’t completely locked up yet but that should change during the overnight tonight or tomorrow! The big lake and the river remain wide open but with the temps coming up it shouldn’t be too much longer before those too start to ice over!
Looking at the 10 day forecast it looks fantastic for ice making, now we hope for little accumulation in the snowfall once the ice making process begins on the big lake and no high winds. Barring any major weather related setbacks, I(JP) think we are right on schedule to see ice fishing action in roughly 2 weeks time!
Been hearing and seeing reports from people who have been brave enough to chase last minute open water fishing that the big walleyes are still in the river and very hungry, which is a great sign for a fantastic bite during the early ice!
Steve and the crew have been busy getting the houses ready to welcome you back to the big lake as soon as Mother Nature allows us! We would love to accommodate you this upcoming season, so if you’re interested you can book your reservations with us today by calling 218-368-7323 and lock in your ice fishing adventure with Sweet’s Fishing on Lake of the Woods!
