NEW UPDATE **********

Dec 24, we have some ice and the temperatures are in the 20 degree range and going lower.  Right after Christmas I’ll give another update, looks good though for possible action out there in a few days. MERRY CHRISTMAS ! *********

Here is the update I promised. for ice fishing in our area. First of all, as of today we have no safe ice on either Long or Grand. The good news is we did not get the foretold “blizzard” which would dump up to 2 feet of  snow here. Instead we got a huge rain storm and gale force winds. The west side of the state did not fare so well though. This morning we have about 1  1/2 inches of  snow on the ground, with a crust of ice on top. The very good news is the forecasts all show a dramatic drop in temperatures starting tonight.  By the end of this weekend, we will have night time temperatures in the teens and single digits. If I had to guess on a time the ice might be  here, I would guess by New Years.  Again, I will let you know. This is only a guess.

So the best I can do for now is to keep you all informed, and wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS.  We are fully stocked, ready for ice and customers.

And don’t forget folks, we have a new public access for you on the south end of long lake, for quads, snowmobiles, and foot traffic, just minutes from this bait shop.
