Fishing Report
The ice fishing conditions in Minnesota are improving, with reports indicating that the ice thickness is around 6 to 8 inches on some lakes. Resorts and rental operators are allowing foot traffic and lightweight ATV access on certain lakes, such as Lake Winnibigoshish. Anglers are catching walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch, with some resorts and rental operators allowing travel by ATV, snowmobile, or side-by-side to their fish houses. It is recommended to work through resorts and outfitters for safety and to avoid independent travel.
For the latest updates and detailed reports, anglers can refer to the Minnesota DNR's LakeFinder tool, which provides comprehensive information about fishing regulations, water access sites, lake maps, and more.
