When is it, that the ice usually goes out on Okoboji and Spirit lake?

Clear Lake ice-out is usually around March 20 I believe. Okoboji/Spirit are not much farther north, I would guess ice-out would be about the same traditionally. I'll see if I can get more accurate info.

Perch are biting good up there.

Thanks guys, wouldn't you think I could remeber.

I did some ice fishing this winter, but need open water.

:smirk: Cabin fever I guess.

We were ice fishing on West O on April 6th last year. Should be about the same this year.

Not to argue but the water is a lot more dirty, in West at least, this year then last. It will warm faster because of this. I imagine ice will be all gone before April 6. The 7 day looks very warm. 3 days in a row in the 60s will knock it out relatively fast. Have a good one
