February 3, 2012 - 4-wheelers are okay to use on the bay again.  We have 5 to 6 inches of good ice on the bay.  Boy Scout Point has 7 to 8 inches.  The shoreline is good again, but caution is needed on the long points and pressure ridges.  The fishing was awesome this week.  A few walleye (some to 10 lbs), lots of northern in the 5 to 10 lb range, and the perch bite is exceptional.  Join us for the tournament on Sunday February 5.  First prize is cash plus a 9 inch Jiffy ice auger.

February 1, 2012 - Still 5 inches in the bay but caution is advised.  Walk-on fishing is great.  We recommend limited atv access until cold weather hits.  The forecast is calling for highs in the 20s starting on Saturday.

January 30, 2012 - We still have 5 inches of ice in the bay, but the warm weather is starting to affect the shoreline.  At this point, there are still 4-wheelers going out, but caution is imperative.  Northern are still biting, and we have finally seen some walleye around 5 to 7 pounds coming in. 

January 23, 2012 - There is a good 5 to 6 inches of ice in the bay all the way to Peterson Point.  The main lake has a couple of inches of ice and is frozen as far as you can see in all directions.  Don't forget to join us for the tournament on Feb. 5th.

January 18, 2012 - We finally have ice!  There is 4 to 5 inches in the bay all the way to the main lake.  Clint will be going out tomorrow to see what the main looks like.  I will update you then.

December 28, 2011 - The weather is fabulous!  Bring your boat and enjoy some great fishing.  The Northern bite is hot and walleye are picking up.  Try something new...Fish out of your boat in December:)

December 26, 2011 - You read that correctly:)  The northern bite is still hot, but you will need a boat.  The lake is completely open.  With sunny 50 degree days, how can you go wrong?  Water temp is 33 so if the weather turns cold the ice will build quickly.  Until then, come and enjoy the nice weather out on the lake.

December 13, 2011 - There is no ice on the bay yet, but hopefully by Christmas if the weather stays cold.  Remember to join us for our annual ice fishing tournament on February 5, 2012.  Call for details: 406-557-2345 or 406-557-2045.

October 17, 2011 - It seems the walleye have once again gone deep and become elusive.  A few are still coming in though.  However, it is a northern fisherman's dream.  You can almost anchor and watch them jump in the boat.  Cranks, spoons, or a spinner with some orange and silver have been great.  Target the weed beds and you are sure to find them.  Small mouth are also still hitting quite well.  Northern and smallys are being caught from the shore, as well.


September 24, 2011 - The walleye bite has turned on for the Fall.  Bottom bouncing with chartreuse and orange with a crawler has been working well at 15 to 20 feet depth.  The northern have moved to more shallow water and are hitting on a crankbait or a spoon.
 

August 13, 2011 - The Northern Pike bite is amazing.  You can hardly keep them off your hook.  Pitch a jig or a spinner or pull a crankbait and you are sure to have success.  Small mouth are also hitting well.  You can find both in 14 to 18 feet of water.  Smaller walleye are coming in, but the big ones are still pretty elusive.  The dedicated fisherman can still find them, though.
 

Happy Fishing!  Clint and Deb
