Fishing is fair to good, depending on the species, lake, location, and time of day. Wet weather and thunderstorms are in the forecast.

Ice conditions are changing quickly with the warmer weather, and though the season was relatively short, it has now reached its end.

Fishing is good for most species and very good for others. Reports on ice thickness range from 4-11 inches ‑ maybe more and maybe less.

Fishing remains good to very good for most species, ice conditions improved a bit in the past week. Still use caution as ice can change.

Fishing is good to very good for most species and ice conditions are improving with cold nighttime temperatures and lack of snow cover.

Lake ice in most areas was okay going into this past weekend, but mild temperatures this week could cause some issues.

The cold last week, combined with minimal snow cover, was great for making ice on the lakes. Still, be wise and check as you go.

Cold weather on the way this week, combined with minimal snowfall ‑ should soon make a significant difference in ice thickness.
