Happy Holidays anglers! I hope this report finds you well, and with loved ones. Thanks for reading this year. Check back every week in 2025 for more information about fishing in the Detroit Lakes area!
Ice Report
I hope you're enjoying the holidays! Speaking of celebrating, there is a lot to be grateful for in the world of ice fishing right now. The ice is thick and strong on many lakes in the area. Little Detroit Lake has consistent 13.5” of ice and people have been driving side-by-sides and 1/2 pickups pulling 17’+ sleeper houses to various locations on the lake. Please take safety precautions if driving vehicles on the ice. Go slow and keep the windows cracked. Lakes other than Detroit may have less ice, so be sure to drill a hole every 50 ft. as you go.
Fishing Report
On good days, the crappie and walleye fishing has been incredible. On slow days, you may long for a pike and bluegill to break up the monotony–target them with heavy pike suckers on a tip-up in the shallow weeds. You can also catch smaller hammer handles outside the weedlines with small minnows on a deadstick or rattle reel during the day. You will catch bluegills on wax worms and small minnow heads during the day, too.
Fishing with small minnows and minnow heads from 4-8 am & 5-7 pm has produced the most crappies and eyes so far this season. Stealth is important when fishing shallow for both of these species. The video shows what this technique in action. Thanks for reaching and good luck fishing!
