Lake Onalaska

I'm really hoping that after this week, I will be able to start posting actual fishing reports and not just an ice update!! 

Open water and areas of skim ice. Water temps are right there for locking up anytime. Next week looks good for making some ice. 

Any idea forming yet?

Here is this weeks ice report! I'll hopefully get on the ice before the rain comes and then will be able to provide ​a more detailed fish report!

Here's this weeks Lake Onalaska Ice Report.

Was driving by the lake today just before noon and low and behold... 4 guys out on the ice. Kind of a lousy picture but if you zoom in they can be seen.

I had no desire to try to get any closer.

This Thursday?   
Lake Onalaska? 
Most of the lake opened up this afternoon. Few icebergs drifting around. Lot of mild temp days and wind in the next 10 days.
I'm would figure sometime after Christmas for safe ice if not closer to the New Year. 

Upon further review...and an updated weather report there will probably be a chance of fishable ice by Thursday.

If you're an experienced first ice adventure seeker there's a good chance a few guys will be on the early ice spots.

Be careful...a few panfish isn't worth falling through...I've done it 3 times and it's no fun.

Been fishing in the boat lately. With this warm weather the little ice that was fishable is crappy.

Depending on the weather at least another week to 10 days or even longer.

Getting eager to get out. Any report on ice conditions?
