Hell yeah, I'll be up for the derby. Fishing on Long Lake. Did it in '21 and had a blast despite how cold it was out on the lake (-19 F). Hope to see you guys out there. White Perch and Salmon here we come, and also all the yellows you can ice.

be very careful. we got 21in. of snow last weekend and sleet/ freezing rain and 6in. of snow the last couple days. had to go save my brothers shack sun. as we put it on the day of the storm. while jacking it the back broke thru. the warm weather and water on the ice ate the ice under the shack. the guy next to us lost his hylift while jacking his. was 5-6in. before the storm. could be less now as its not got -0 and wont before the derby. worst conditions ive seen for late jan. in my 52 years fishing these lakes. id only walk out there.

Thanks for the update, truly appreciated. We may end up going either way as my fiance's family lives up on the lake so its not bad to make the trip.

I'll be up there but I've got a house full of snowmachine riders to show around. Good luck to those fishing!

some of the coves have good ice but the usual fishing spots will be sketchy at best. slush will be bad the second you punch a hole.

Unfortunately will not be making it up for the derby this weekend. We have a funeral to go to and cannot miss that. Tight lines and be safe to everyone who gets up and out.
