Good reports for those still ice fishing in 24-31′. Gold, glow red and glow colors best. Try downsizing presentation. Deadsticking plain hook with live minnow consistent. Morning / evening bite continues in 15-20′. Pike action strong with many fish over 40″ caught again this week. Some resort fish houses still available, many of the resorts are done ice fishing for the year. Check LOW Tourism Facebook page for details. Lots of snow on the lake, slush in spots, best to stay on resort roads or trails. Fish houses on ice through March 31, walleyes open through April 14, pike season open continuous. Auger extensions needed.
