Calamus Question

[tipups10]

I'm am going to be in that area for three days at the end of Dec, I have never been to the lake. Anybody know where a good place to set up on the lake would be (with tip ups and do some jig'n also). I would like to be there first light and it would sure be nice to have some idea where to head to instead of driving around burning daylight looking for a spot. Thanks

Buckshot or Valley View. I would not truck on that lake without good light. Calamus is a mecca of pressure ridges, river current and ice variation from wind.

Just a reminder, only atv's and snowmobile allowed on ice.  No cars or trucks.  Don't know from your post if you meant  on the road or the ice

truck

Figure of speach. 

Should have said = I would not walk on Calamus until there is enough light to see.

I havent been on the ice yet but I drive by almost everyday for work.  There is a pressure ridge by the face of the damn. Valleyview is always most popular place to fish. May go out sunday.

Valleyview boat ramp is probably a good bet.  Some of the flooded trees are sticking out of the water to give you a hint where to start.
