December 17, 2010 Explore Minnesota Fishing Report The ice fishing season has begun, and so will Explore Minnesota Fishing Reports next week!
Ice is rapidly developing on lakes throughout the state, and anglers are beginning to venture out for hard water angling. The Explore Minnesota Fishing Report will resume next week, with information on where to drill holes for the most ice fishing action!
Please note that ice is still forming, and some ice remains unstable in areas where heavy snow cover has inhibited ice development. As always, please check with local bait shops and resorts for the most current conditions before venturing out. The contacts below can help you get in touch with the right people. And, we have recently updated our website at Explore Minnesota Tourism - check it out and see all that Minnesota has to offer. Happy Holidays from Explore Minnesota Tourism!
