I was on the Red both yesterday and today - Ice is thick enough that some brave souls were driving on it and setting up their shacks. Fishing was ok, caught about a dozen (small) today and zippo yesterday. Fish were 14-16", caught in about 15-17' using silver anything with salted minnows. Seems the Fish are still in their late fall hideouts. Ski-Doos from **** also...
Bite has generally been good, although the unstable weather has tuned it down a bit.
Real light biters also.

I was at the blackstrap yesterday. Caught 4 medium size perch. Ice was a foot thick. Some crazy guys were setting up a huge ice shack. They parked 6 pick ups side by side....not smart! They were filming themselves...maybe for some type of show.

Caught the fish on chunks of leech left over from this year.

I fish for Walleye on the west side from the stone barn up to Sarnia - edges of weedbeds/rocks, points, etc - I usually just drill a hole in 8-12ft and look down for an hour or two - if I see fish/baitfish, I'll stay put! I try to get away from the crowds, as my impression is that most people "memory" fish or stay real close to the shore ramps. It's a huge lake with a lot of fish -Half the fun is finding them!
Last couple of years, wee-tooh has been good, and also collingwood for Perch.
I'll let ya know next time I'm out there - maybe we could wet a line or two!

Went out on the Red River near the Selkirk Steam Plant on Sunday and Monday this week with the following results.

Ice Thickness 6-8"
Glow Colored Whistler Jigs with Live Minnows

Sunday - 3 small greenbacks
Monday - a small greenback, a 3lber and a 2 lber
and a healthy sized Burbot.

The River looked like a construction site with all the shacks going up and the trucks zipping back and forth....can't wait till Pine Falls is safe to
get away from this mayhem.
