We're coming from south of Ames on Wednesday for a couple of days of fishin and wanted to know if anybody's been out since the snow and how accessable the lake was. Thanks.

2 feet wow. Thats gonna foil my plans for getting over there.

esox_magnum · « **Reply #34 on:** Dec 28, 2009, 05:33 PM »

29" of snow last week total, unless you got a snowmobile your not going far. No access is plowed and won't be unless a fisherman does it. I'm having fun sledding fishing may wait a week.

I was thinking about coming over for a little sledding / fishing. Is the ice safe with all the snow on it?

jiggin4jumbos · « **Reply #36 on:** Dec 30, 2009, 02:10 PM »

we fished on east on sun. at least 14-16 inches of ice with 4-5 inches of water on top with 18" of snow on top of that, talk about a nightmare

there were plenty of sleds running in upper gar not much hope for a atv though.

When are you coming, would like someone to ride with. Gotta find some sled head friends I guess.

have heard talk of an ice road out on spirit and west. Is this true and how far out is it going?

walleyekelly · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 02, 2010, 01:15 AM »

Was on Spirit the last few days- I'd have to say I did pretty well, put a pounding on the walleyes. Should have baught a sled this year rather than an ATV

It's a work out right now with all the snow and frigid temps.

Oh, I was not on Angler's

-33 when I logged on at 7:30, up to a balmy -27 at 9:11, little brisk even for me. -47 wind chill

jacobh73 · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 02, 2010, 06:16 PM »

Went out today, got a few gills. It was cold. There is a road plowed out at anglers bay. If you use it make sure you get off the road when you park.And if anyone knows the guy that did it tell him thanks for me.

used eveything but the cell phone today and no keepers!!!!!!!!!!!!

chocolatehuntinglabs · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 04:46 PM »

Had the same problem last sunday afternoon. I think I tied every jig I had on twice. Tried wax worms, spikes, fake stuff, worms, and even crappie nibblets. The most frustrating part was watching all them *****s on the camera come screaming in and take off just as fast. Did see a lot of fish though (perch, bluegill, walleye, northern, and a bullhead).

rockyy · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 05:09 PM »

By the time it was light enuf to use a camera we didn't mark another fish. Even talked to allot of guys on Spirit that had the same problem. Guess we need more snow! hahahaha

doonan · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 16, 2010, 11:51 AM »

Me and the old man will be getting out there tomorrow. Old man can't walk very good had a bad construction accident when he was younger, but a friend of mine is letting me use his sled tomorrow so i can get him out there for the first time this year. Hopefully the fish are ready to eat by then.

doonan · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 16, 2010, 06:09 PM »

sled fell through due to license issues, but does anyone know if you can get on with quads?

esox_magnum · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 16, 2010, 06:17 PM »

There was quads out on West today as well as a bunch of trucks in Emerson and Smiths. I haven't been up around Spirit but I'm sure a few roads/paths are made.

Mr.Seaguar · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 16, 2010, 06:20 PM »

Doonan do you have a flipover? You could pull your flipover with him sitting in it at either the grade or Millers Bay. Neither place will you have to go far. I used to drag my father in law around in my Frabill Triplex all the time. We would just wrap him in a quilt and take off. Good Luck

doonan · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 18, 2010, 12:42 PM »

We ended up staying on the beaten path and drove the the truck out onto Buffalo run. It was prolly a mistake, but we were pretty well limited to were we could fish. I tried all over buffalo run without any success. Anyone do any good out there this weekend.

limited · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 20, 2010, 02:56 PM »

Fished it Friday thru Monday all over Spirit and West and pretty much got skunked. We were able to use our quad to move around and drag two shacks but got stuck a couple of times in slush pocket. Plan on going up in April with the boat to make up for this wasted trip.

rockyy · « **Reply #57 on:** Feb 03, 2010, 12:43 AM »

If you can get to the east side in 20 to 22' FOW ,and use waxies seems to be workin.

BucksNDucks · « **Reply #58 on:** Feb 10, 2010, 02:43 PM »

just wondering whats been going on on Spirit or West? going to be up there for 3-4 days and want to try to fish both. possibly get into the perch like last year should i just try the same spots as last year around big stoney and north or have the bites changed?

rockyy · « **Reply #59 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 03:50 PM »

Follow the tracks and set up 3' away from the shack that's there that's how you catch fish!!!!!
