Hey does anyone know if you can still ice fish on fishable ice after April 1st.
Can you fish now in open water with a rod and reel?
Sorry i know this is probably in the book but i left it in the shack and dont want to go get it.

Every computer you have with internet access IS a rule book!

Allex,
That's CI not C1.
In a nutshell. You can ice fish if you are:
1: standing on ice formed by the lake you are fishing on.
2: You use man-made holes not natural openings.
3: There are no rules prohibiting it by S-codes or similar.

That is awesome news! The boy ended up barfin last night so we didnt go fishing today, I as hoping to go at least one more time (as long as the ice holds). Just didnt know if we still could.
Thanks guys

i think the most accurate answer would be: it depends on the body of water; so you may want to run to the shack or check it out online.
