Ice Fishing Lake of the Woods on Midwest Outdoors TV

For those who aren’t very familiar with ice fishing, or even if you are, this episode of Midwest Outdoors TV really highlights ice fishing on Lake of the Woods.  Spending time in a nice warm fish house picking away at a variety of fish including walleyes, saugers, jumbo perch, eelpout, tulibees, pike, crappies and occasional sucker!  Yep, that’s right, caught on camera, a sucker hit Midwest Outdoor’s Greg Jones’s Rippin Rap.  This was a first and lead to some excitement of a possible nice walleye until a positive ID was made!

There is nothing like finishing off a day of ice fishing with a traditional fish fry.  So just like we do it when we are having fun on our own time, we showed off fried walleyes and saugers with all of the fixings on the show.  This is the kind of meal that when you smell the delicious fried fish, you think about spending time in a fish house and the memories you have created.

What a year it has been.  And for people who like to ice fish, there is still lots of ice fishing to go.  March ice fishing is approaching and Lake of the Woods, being border water with Canada, benefits by having extended seasons.  Fish houses are allowed out on the ice through March 31st.  In addition, fishing seasons go longer.  Walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th.  Pike season never closes.

Lake of the Woods has experienced great ice this year and has seen lots of ice anglers.  Only Mother Nature knows for sure, but there are many ice anglers looking forward to fishing and getting that spring sun tan at the same time!  Enjoy the show.
