First snow this morning good thing I had the winter cover on the boat . Now I get to dream about Ice fishing until the lakes freeze up.

I was just looking at my pictures of my first ice last year. It was on Nov 27 so we are a month away! I find it hard to imagine things will be frozen in a month but here's to hoping.

ground is hard in ams, but a weekend of 13c will change that   mid dec for sure

Last Year I drilled holes on Dellwood on Nov 17th there was only 4 to 5.5 inches. Who knows what this ice season will bring but I am hoping for some really cold weather in a couple of weeks.

Boat is officially away so bring on the ice. It was a great summer, and had amazing walleye fishing at strap. Caught a 25.5" Wally but where the heck do they go in winter though?

You get 1 hr in the morning and 1 hr in the evening. Other then that they get tight lipped. Best luck is on a shallow flat by a break line 8-12 feet.

That was my experience on the strap as well back in my university days. 

 Fresh foot of snow up here, firing up the tundra after work!!

   Great weather for snow machines but I was hoping for no white stuff untill the ice was hard safe and ready. Still it is pretty good ice making weather. wont be too long now 3 years ago I was already fishing Dellwood.

Another 8" or so yesterday, some of the small lakes around here were froze over so they'll likely be a mess.

-25 this pm here      lots of snow- I agree  those small lakes will be inconsistent for early ice.
