The wind has been blowing, and the snow has been
flying on Lake Waconia! We have been out with the plow trucks, and the lake
roads are open! We maintain roads that go to the major fishing spots! On the
roads you can make your way out to Waconia Bay, Center Reef, Pillsbury Reef,
Wagner's Bay and Cemetery Reef. There are plowed areas along the road to exit
off. Off roading is getting more difficult, especially when pulling a wheel
house. Make sure you have a capable four wheel drive and a shovel if venturing
to far off road.
The fishing has remained
good on Lake Waconia! Northern Pike have continued to bite on small or medium
sucker minnows. Folks are still catching them along the weed edge in Waconia
Bay, Center Reef and Pillsbury Reef. Any good weed edge could produce pike
right now.
In the daytime
crappies and sunfish have still been doing well along the weed edges. The same
areas the pike are being found are good places to find them too. The beauty of
the shallow areas is the mixed bag potential. The deeper water in
Wagner's Bay (17'-25' of water) has still been producing lots of crappies in the
late afternoon/evening hours.
Don't forget to weigh your qualifying fish in
our FREE Ice and Dice contest! With less than a month left in the
giveaway, bring your Lake Waconia fish in to weigh during business hours to
have a chance to win up to $101. All it takes is a 5.5 oz. Sunfish, a 10
oz. Crappie, a 5# Northern or a Walleye between 16 to 23 inches or over 28
inches to qualify. We'd love to see you're fish and take your picture!
If you're looking to get on the ice, and want it to be an easy, pleasant experience, try out our Fish House Rentals. We drill the holes, and the heat is on! All you need is a license, rods, and bait. If you don't have some of the equipment, we rent jig sticks either individually, or in buckets for a group. Underwater cameras are also available to rent! We also sell licenses, bait, tackle and snacks! Call (952) 442-2096 to reserve.
We'll see ya on the lake!
