Safe is a relative term. I usually can get out around Dec 16. Some years a bit earlier. Some years later. Have been on decent ice as late as 3rd week in April. But that has been a few years ago. Welcome to the rat race. Most of us dream of moving or just vacationing where you are from. I myself have been to Thompson Manitoba but never to Saskatchewan. What were you thinking? Lol!
Thompson was sight seeing. We were camping and fishing south of there for 3 weeks several years ago. Town that was closest was Wabowden Manitoba. Caught many walleye and pike. All different sizes with plenty of very large ones to boot. Carp too. They called them suckers. Perch were plentiful and large. Saw wolves at a distance. Black bear too. Golden eagles as well as Bald eagles. Thought we saw a moose crossing the road to Snow Lake. Was far down the road and went across quick. Funny thing when I was driving one morning on a pop run. To Snow Lake as the locals buy up all the pop in Wabowden. At the time a case was $21 bucks Canadian and then they sell it to us out of town-ers for north of $40 per case. Guy who was running the store said to. Go down four houses as they have all the pop that was delivered yesterday. I was traveling at 100 mph as the sign on the side of the road said 100. Then it dawned on me kilometers per hours. Apply break pressure now. Never saw another car or truck on the road that morning. Probably a good thing. Any how lots of action around here. Lots of pressure too. Ask any of us on here for any help or info. You will get it. One thing to consider. This is not the north woods. So if you do find some good spots and there are many. Keep it to yourself or your family. If you trust them not to let the cat out of the bag so to speak. Otherwise you will find yourself surrounded by those that did not work for your find. Also check out Chitown Angler.com It is a local web forum. For around here. Charlie.
Hello and Welcome, I agree with what UFCreel said about sharing or posting "Spots". A good picture is worth a thousand fisherman- literally . All the waters around here are heavily pressured just about year round. When it comes to ice fishing around here Pan fish are King. Gills, Pumpkinseeds and crappie are what most of us focus on. For walleye and pike you'll need a Wisconsin license- there are a few places around here but pressure keeps the #'s down. Light line 1-4 lb test and small tungsten jigs sizes 12-16 are what have been the norm for a few years. Good luck and hope to meet you on the ice!!!Ross
yeah typically mid dec to end of february is our ice time. give or take a few weeks on either end.
The 14 in Rockford you may be ok I'm hoping maybe Monday I'll keep an eye on the ice the puddles in my driveway were frozen solid tonight drove the truck across and they didn't break so I'm getting excited[/quoThere you are.
