Post by: FirstCast on Nov 06, 2017, 11:05 AM: haven't been on any lakes yet been hunting however now that moose are closed now I will venture out to some local lakes soon. got to dig out the ice fishing gear and tune it up. The temps have been perfect for the big freeze. I notice rivers and creeks are freezing up quick so I think it will be good ice very soon. tight lines all and be safe

Post by: IceDrisher on Nov 09, 2017, 09:41 AM: Yup I was way off. Looks like most of our local lakes will be good to go by this weekend!

Just a reminder to only keep what you need and try to let the big ones go! Good luck out there and be safe :tipup:

Post by: Rosstheboss on Nov 09, 2017, 10:45 PM: Guess I should have read the middle of the thread lol I checked out 4 lakes today. Solid 5-7 inch on all of them. Saw some monster brookies but they didn't want anything to do with what I had to offer.
