Lake Tomahawk

I appreciate all the input! Im just trying to find somewhere to ice fish Friday, Sat, and Sun. I only questioned Tomahawk because that is where we are staying. I am all for any suggestions on other lakes in that immediate area where we can find Crappies and Gills, a shallower lake that has better ice conditions would be great. Our season down here only lasted 3 weeks. Im just not familiar with the lakes in the Tomahawk area. Thanks to all for responding!

They were removing a utv from Squirrel Lake today that went threw over the weekend. Around 30’ of water.   

I agree with Musky Ben, I fished on January 23 and there was still open water west of Windy Point.  That said, everything I was on North/East/South was 8” but no clue how that’s changed in the past 3 weeks. I’d be checking as I went.

Fellas:

It's great that there are some ice reports with regard to Tom.  I'd like to caution that both individuals mentioned good ice, my biggest concern was where was the good ice???  As most everyone knows our large area lakes are always the last ones to freeze, so where is that on Tom???  I would submit that ice as reported may be very good from Lake Tom (town) out towards Dolhuns Point or so, but I would be drilling out where you're going until you know!!!  I also would submit that as you round the corner towards Windy Point, you are going to start running into thinner ice...  I don't know what that is, but everything North and West of there would have been the last to freeze, thus how thick is it??? I've heard Trout may only have 4 or so inches on it and if that is the case I would submit that would be similar ice depth NW of Windy...  

Again, this is not to throw bad at the ice reports, it is to make sure that everyone is being careful on this years ice!!!  Spud and Drill and Check often, Be Safe and Catch a Big One!!!

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. Lakes are sketchy here in SE Wisconsin, shorelines are open. Any areas I should stay clear of there?

Was on Lake Tom today. There is 10” of ice. I took my ATV out on the ice. I would recommend chains. There is no snow at all on the ice. 

Yes they are driving atvs on lake tomahawk 10+ inches of ice. Should make ice all week. Fishing has been good. There is a tournament next weekend in town bay.  I was out there yesterday 

Can anyone post a current ice depth for this lake? Gonna come up next weekend and want to know if people are driving ATV's out. Any info on this lake or the surrounding area is much appreciated. 

Thanks,

What do they fish for in that tight shanty village off the landing in lake tomahawk 

Catch and release walleye and bass has been great with lots of fish being caught. Slip bobbers with leeches and jigs with crawlers in 12-22 weeds and mud flat's. I have a few July dates open so give me a holler.
