Lake Margrethe Crawford county

[Fishondog]

 ice 10-12 in, water crystal clear, went out for a few hours sun, bite was light.  1 eye, 1 pike, 1 small perch  but seen a dozen or more eyes through the hole in the hardtop just like looking in the aquarium in 14ft of water off eagle point. Seen some big eyes:yikes: but will have to wait till next time.

Twin is about 25 miles from lake Margrethe, a little north and east.

i have a cottage on big twin.... would it be worth a day trip over there if i was up there for a weekend or should i stay at twin

It is definitely worth it if you want walleye.  The DNR planted a fair number of them in 2002.  If you like to catch pike and muskie, it's a good lake for those too.
