We will be closing for the season after Sunday, March 1st. Our access will remain temporarily open after March 1st as long as it’s in reasonable condition and we don’t get lots of snow. We will not be plowing it after March 1st.
This weekend through February 23rd is the final weekend of Gamefish season, so you won’t be able to fish for walleyes, northern pike and bass until the Fishing Opener on May 9th (with bass being catch-and-release only until May 23rd).
New 2020 Fishing Licenses are now available for sale too! Keep in mind, you STILL NEED a 2019 fishing license through February 29th. The new season starts March 1st, but it’s nice to be prepared early.
Fish Houses, Dark Houses and Portables must be removed from the ice no later than midnight March 2nd.
As for the fishing, we continue to hear very good crappie reports in the deeper water of Wagener’s Bay. 20 to 25 feet of water, fishing 4 to 8 feet off the bottom has been the ticket most evenings. Sunfish are still biting, although less aggressively in 12 to 14 feet of water near Center and Pillsbury Reefs as well as into the south side of Wagener’s Bay and parts of Waconia Bay. Crappies can be found in these areas too! Unfortunately we do not have any big minnows available for the Northern Pike, but if you do have some of your own, the bite has picked up some the past 2 weeks. We are fully stocked with crappie minnows, fathead minnows, wax worms and larva!
We’ll see you on the ice!
