On the south end... Overall, really good ice fishing for mid-February*with a nice mix of walleyes and saugers.* Most*fishing*12-15 miles out, 30-32' of water the norm.* Other nice pods of*fish*found in closer to shore away from traffic.* Some good reports during the day in 15-20'.* Ice thickness pushing over 30" in most areas being fished, bring your extensions for augers if not with the resort.* Some nice walleyes again suspended this week.* Your favorite ice*fishing*electronics to mark*fish*is very helpful.* Jig one line, try teasing fish up.* Deadstick the second with a live minnow on an ice jig or plain hook under a bobber.* Fish houses on ice through March 31, walleyes open through April 14, pike never close.

On the Rainy River...* Some*reports*of morning/evening walleye action on the river and Four Mile Bay.* The area around International Bridge in Baudette not safe due to the construction of the new bridge.* Lots of current, thus thinner ice than normal for Feb.* Snowmobile trail on the river is open and marked from Baudette (downstream from the bridge) to the lake.* Stay on the trail for safety.

Up at the NW Angle...* Great ice*fishing*with a mixed bag of walleyes, saugers, perch, pike, tulibees and eelpout.* Most*fish*coming from 24-30'.* Pink/white, gold, glow strong colors.* Big crappies coming in from Canada side.* Snowmobile trails from south shore across the lake to Angle are marked with fresh snow.* The ice road from Young's Bay to Flag and Oak Island resorts is open.*
