Fishing forecast (December through April): Road access can be limited by snowstorms and drifting. Access via over-the-snow machines is common from December to March. Ice cover can be fishable by mid-November, but is more typically fishable by early December through April. Early ice is frequently the most productive, with success declining over the winter as the ice thickens. Dissolved oxygen levels usually become low at the bottom, so fish may be just under the ice by late winter. Classic ice fishing lures work well, including tube jigs, spoons and ice flies tipped with bait like Gulp maggots, nightcrawlers and mealworms. A fish finder will benefit anglers in locating fish and anticipating strikes, as fish can be caught at all depths during the cold winter period. Watching how fish react to a lure can help you decide whether to jig or let the lure deadstick. Fish can be finicky at times under the ice, so try switching lures and jigging techniques if fish appear on the graph but won't hit. (Dec. 31, 2022)
