Lot's of check-outs today. 

Reports vary depending on which group you talked to. Some groups did well while some didn't do so well.  Some people fishing in a house did well, while the others in the same house didn't do so good. 

Everyone reported they had a good time while here.

Next groups start checking in on Thursday.

If you've looked at a calandar recently, you'll notice there's not many weeks left of the Ice fishing season.  So if you haven't booked your fishing trip yet.  Give us a call.

We're running some really great mid-week packages and we still have weekend dates available.

Ok, sorry it's been awhile since my last report.  We had a pretty good snow storm blast through here. Starting with freezing rain and then alot of snow and wind, it took awhile to get things cleaned up around here.

Fishing the last few days has been slow due to a high pressure system hanging over us.  Our Iowa group that left this morning said that yesterday was better than Sunday and feel that the fishing should pick up this week.

The forecast shows temps in the mid-teens to mid 20's which should make for better fishing this week.

I do have openings for this week-end.  Valentines week-end is full.  Then openings for the remainder of the season.

Fishing this weekend slowed down.  Yesterday we had one house do pretty good, one house do OK and the rest were pretty slow. We really hate seeing the long faces after so many happy ones.  but we do what we can do, we just can't make the fish bite.  We still have people fishing today so hopefully the bite will be better today.

I finally made my first trip onto the ice yesteday, fished for about an hour, had about 8 bites but couldn't manage to get any up the hole. I think I'm a little rusty on the hook set.

We do have openings for this weekend, so give us a call.

Group of 4 came into the lodge last night to check out.  Said they had a fun trip.  they fished for 2 days saying they caught at least 150 fish during their stay. They caught lots of walleye and big sauger and of course alot of the little ones mixed in.  They also said at one point they had to walk out side the fish house to just take a break.

What a fun group of guys, they've rebooked for March and we're looking forward to seeing them again.

I just want to remind everyone that this kind of fishing CAN happen here on Lake of the Woods But may not always happen. 

I try to post the most honest report I can coming from everyone that's fishing.

Full house this weekend, But I still have openings for the 22nd-23rd and the 29th-30th.

1-800-315-2835

This week-end all the cabins are full.

Next week-end opening is on Jan. 23-24

Midweek deals still available.

What a busy week-end. Lots of groups coming and going.

Thursday and Friday people were saying it was hard to keep both lines in the water with so much action going on.

Saturday the wind switched, coming out of the South and the fishing slowed down a bit.  Sunday it switched again coming out of the North and fishing was alot slower for those fishing in the morning.  But the afternoon bite picked up quite a bit.  People are seeing lots of fish on the flashers

It looks like we're in for a warm up this week with temps ranging in the low to upper 20's

Night time temps are supposed to be above 0.  These temps should make for good fishing.

I have a 2 bedroom cabin open yet for this week-end and next week-end also.

Give us a call

1-800-315-2835

One of the 2 bedroom cabins just became available for next weekend 15-16th

Good reports across the board.

A group of 4 yesterday kept a tally on fish caught.  They totaled 58 for the day.

Another group of 4 fished a half day yesterday.  Actually about 2 hours and caught

24.

We had a group of 6 from Iowa leave this morning. They fished for 4 days and said they had a great trip catching lots of fish. Releasing a 20-24-29 back down the hole.

Tv shows -18 below right now. According to weather.com we're supposed to reach a high of 0 today. Temps this next week are supposed to range from mid-teens to mid 20s for highs and mid-teens to single digits for lows.

I have openings for Jan. 22-23 and Jan 29-30

We still have the mid-week deals.

We've been busy, busy with cabin cleaning and fish house moving. Yesterday Doug and the guys plowed the road farther out on the lake to deeper water.

Groups leaving this morning. Most reported successful fishing taking limits home. Gold jigs seemed to be the choice yesterday. One group reported slow fishing.  After changing to gold they managed to pick up a few more.

I did have a guy call from the fish house to check the Northern slot. He managed to get a 33" up the hole. But unfortunately it had to go back.

I have opening for the week-end of Jan. 22nd-23rd and also Jan. 29-30

Mid-week deals are still available.

1-800-315-2835

Tv is showing -32 below right now. We did have a couple of vehicles that wouldn't start this morning. It's not hard to blame them. Geesh that's cold.

Our new groups are reporting the best fishing they've ever had.  One group put a 29" incher back down the whole. Hopefully this swing in temp. doesn't shut them down for a couple of days.

Three groups checking out tomorrow with three new ones coming right back in.

The next weekend we have open cabins is Jan. 22-23

Mid-week openings starting Jan 10th. Check out those Mid-week deals.

1-800-315-2835

Several cabins checked out this morning.  All reporting that yesterdays fishing was alot slower. Big temp change.

Forecast shows for single digits and mid to low teens with a couple of below zero days.

Today is cabin cleaning and fish house moving day. More guests checking in tomorrow.

The last few days have been fantastic. All of our houses are on the lake and busy.

Lots of action, with fish ranging from small throw backs, nice eaters and yesterday produced several in the slot from 24" to 28" range.

Lots of fish frying going on in the cabins and everyone taking home limits.

Well.......... that is except one group going home a couple shy of their limit learning a valuable lesson about burying their fish in the snow bank in front of their cabin and what a snowblower can eat up.

The plowed road is open for travel and speed limit signs of 15mph have been posted. Please follow them. High speeds on the road can damage the ice.

I have 1/2 of the Captains Quarters available for this week-end.  I usually require a group of 6 for this unit, but will consider 4 fishing a package.

The week-end of the 8-9 all cabins are full.

The week-end of the 15-16 I have one 2 bedroom cabin available.

The following 2 week-end I have several cabins open.

Mid-week deals are available.

Doug has been moving houses to the lake today, I'm not sure if he's just stageing them or taking them on out.

He did say that the ice was about 14.5 inches thick. He doesn't think that they plan on opening the road until the week-end which will give us a couple more inches.

For now it's still 4 wheelers, snowmobiles and lite ice vehicles.

We stil have openings for New Years.

The Weekend of the 8th and 9th is now full

The weekend of the 15th and 16th I have 2 cabins available.

Midweeks are available with great rates. check out the deals page.

Temps continue to stay cold, TV showed -18 last night, high right now it is -11 our high today is supposed to reach 2 above. The report for tonight and tomorrow is pretty much the same.  Reports as of yesterday ice thickness is 10 to 11 inches.

Fishing reports are very good, lots of smaller saugers with nice walleyes mixed in.

We don't have our houses on the lake yet, we need a few of more inches for Doug's big truck. Hopefull towards the end of the week we'll be out there.

We do have openings for this week-end.

The day after Christmas we start full boar with a full house.

We have opening for New Years weekend.

The week-end of Jan. 8-9 I have 2 cabins available.

Temps right now are -11. TV showed we hit -20 again last night. We're supposed to be in a wind chill advisory. Winds are 3-4 right now.

10 day forecast shows temps remaining below freezing.

Average reports for ice thickness is 4 inches.

Portable fishermen are fishing the Morris Point area. (walking out) With good results.

We have some great rates on the DEALS page.

Call for reservations 1-800-315-2835

The Tv showed we hit a low of -20 last night. At 9:00am it's still -7 below our high is only supposed to hit 10 above today.

There's still a few spots in the river that are steaming, which means that spot is still open water. With these temps I'm sure they will be froze over before the day is done.

We went to Morris Point yesterday, the lake is frozen as far as you can see and it looks really smooth.

The cabins and ice houses are ready to go.

Give us a call to make your reservations.

Kim

Yeah!!!! It's done.  I've been working on this site for awhile now.  I hope you find it an improvement from the old one. Keep coming back to check because it's a work in progress.

Things are starting to freeze so hopefully we'll be on the ice soon ,  I'll be posting some fishing reports.

If you haven't made reservations yet, give us a call, we still have dates available.

Did you check out the Deals page?
