Anyone planning on a trip to Leech, Mille Lacs, Rainy Lake, or Lake of the Woods for a ice fishing trip?

I WISH, the prices to stay a few days on some of those lakes is very cheap.

I so want to go to Lake of the Woods...did Devils Lake, ND last year but family business is struggling so I can't really justify it...maybe next year if the economy bounces back!!!

I just spent a week on Leech and Pike Bay Perch fishing not as good as usual and Walleye fishing is also slow lots of snow on the ice with slush underneath you can get out on Sandy Point on Leech as they are keeping it plowed however the Temperture Friday morning was 36 degrees below zero

TeacherPreacher · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 12:34 PM »

Fished Leech first of March last year and perch fishing was great. So were the temps.

My mistake. my wifes cousin had the little red school house resort on Chetec. Her aunt had the bar hotel on Birchwood lake. The red school house has been sold as individual condos. Seen some last year when I was looking fot some lakefront property.

I never fished Potato lake, but big muskie in there. Lots of pike in the chain though. Mud (Ojaski) Lake is the place to try for them. try around all the trees/stumps and islands (same area). you probably know this already if you been up there before. the bait shop in town with the big fish outside of it is a great resource. They will give you good information. Also try B & B if you have not already! It is across the street from the bait shop. Gotta love deep fried wisconsin cheese!!

Flypopper · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 10:26 AM »

Thanks for the tips! We've never been to these lakes, usually go to hayward (Euclair lakes) but decided to try something new. I have the hot spot maps for the chetek chain and potato and have been taking notes.

asselin24 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 10:45 AM »

no problem. Pizza is the main draw to bar. prarie lake should be a good bet for panfish

PLake Boy · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 03:14 PM »

8 of us are going to Little Bay de Noc this year. We did hit the Walleye and Burbot big one year at Ziffle's Bay on Lake of the Woods, great fishing.

IceMan74 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 11:37 PM »

I work as a guide on leech right now and it's good fishing if you can manage to get around with all the slush. Plan on getting stuck if you go off a plowed road.
