We have ice on the lake! Ice fishing is just within our reach as ice continues to build. As of Nov. 26th, 4 Mile Bay has 5-6 inches and there is 5 inches on the lake walking straight out from Pine Island. Water clarity in shallow water looked good. Morris Point has 6-7″ on bay and 4-5″ on lake. Zippel Bay has 5-7 inches with 3-4 inches on the lake out about a half mile to 15 feet. Arnesen’s Rocky Point has frozen over, but there is still a bit of visible water on the lake. Some resorts hoping to have snowmobile and ATV trails out on the ice within the next week shallow fishing. Important…Remember to utilize resorts and marked trails on the ice. Do not venture off of trails. Use proper safety gear. Safety first.
The Rainy River is frozen and holding snow, but with a strong current is still spotty in most spots. Water is still visible on some parts of the river. Clementson Bay has 2-3 inches of ice. Up on the NW Angle, the inlet now hold 4-6 inches of ice. The lake holds ice as far as the eye can see. For the latest ice updates, follow Lake of the Woods Tourism on Facebook. For lodging info.
