Watching the thermometer earlier in the week, it became apparent that ice would start to form on the smaller ponds and sheltered bays of the bigger lakes. These are the signs that tell anglers ice fishing is right around the corner.

Customers began to come in and shop for gear to live out their ice fishing fantasies. Lures to jig for perch and pickerel. Bigger lures for the lake trout and white perch. Smelt looking lures for the king of winter game fish, the landlock salmon.
