Ice Conditions Improve; Anglers Are Doing Well
Several lakes have become safer for ice anglers and they’re taking advantage of it.
“There’s a heckuva lot of people ice fishing nowadays, so it’s been good,” said Jim Housman at the Tackle Box in North Webster, Ind.
Although some lakes still have some open areas, anglers are venturing offshore when possible and finding ice thickness from three to 7 inches. However, that’s not to say it’s safe everywhere so anglers should move cautiously.

Walleye Numbers Impressive at Indiana’s Lake of the Woods
If you’re a walleye angler and haven’t fished Lake of the Woods near Bremen, Ind., you should.
The lake has a good population of keeper-size walleyes, according to Indiana District Fisheries Biologist Tom Bacula.
Bacula was there last fall doing a standard evaluation of the walleye population.
“It’s something we do every year to check the stocking success of that season,” he said. “We didn’t stock last year (because of covid) but we wanted to see how the lake was doing.”
And doing quite fine, he added.
“Oh, man, we found a lot of walleyes,” he said. “And a lot of legal ones, too.”
