Lake Winnipeg

[Steven_Polaris]

I have never been more exited for ice fishing before. I am so eager to get out and can't wait. I was wondering what the earliest u think you could start ice fishing on lake Winnipeg is? I know there isn't really a one answer but I just wanted to see what the earliest you members have been on lake Winnipeg before? I think if I'm not mistaken, the earliest I was on last year was December 27.

I also picked up my first ever sled, 2010 Polaris IQ 600.

I'm also taking a look at a 2009 Polaris dragon 750cc turbo 4 stroke this weekend and was wondering how there are? Good reviews of them? 4 stroke relies on the battery is that fine?

I can't remember the exact date but I believe I drove on a Balsam Bay around Dec 15 last year.

 Hoping it repeats,

We've walked on December 6th. My cousin is a commercial fisherman so he usually lets me know when they've started venturing out

That's awesome I can't wait to get out man! So exited. On December 6th how thick was the ice if you remember?

Is was probably 10" but wind can break up LW quite a bit before it gets that thick. Once it locks up tight it will get thick fast. Week before Christmas if seen 14"-16" over the years
