While this season’s lake ice already has delivered a better start to ice fishing season than the past two Minnesota winters, reports of numerous pressure ridges have demanded some caution among anglers.
“Just because somebody is out there with a vehicle and a truck, doesn’t mean you need to be out there with a vehicle and a truck. Don’t let that be the test. Test (the ice) yourself,” said CO Bobby Stringer, of Wheaton.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites people interested in Lake of the Woods fisheries to share their thoughts on a draft update of the fisheries management plan for the lake.
This opportunity differs from the scoping survey released in February 2024. The scoping survey guided the management planning process, while this is an opportunity to comment on the draft plan.
A few decades ago local anglers considered it a waste of time to even consider fishing on Oakland County’s Pontiac Lake.
After a dam repair project in the 1980s went awry, the entire fish population in Pontiac Lake was wiped out. New fish including bluegill, bass, pike, and crappie were stocked in the 1980s, but it took years and some tweaking by fisheries managers to get the fishery in this 585-acre lake back up to par.
