It is usually THE day the ice goes out.
They don’t miss it by more than hours typically.
DNR is typically there to sample sturgeon also.

These go to Chicago.
How do you watch it ?
With your own two eyes

It’s really cool to watch the final draw of the nets and watch them release huge walleye and pike. I highly recommend it.How do you watch it ?
Watch from the beach on Point Douglas just before you cross over the bridge to Prescott.

March 13, 2023 at 9:21 am #2188144The market changes. But mostly Chicago and New York.
Like Mike said, timing is everything.
I saw them bringing in the nets a few years back around Noon. Figured I would check it out… they didn’t get the net in to start harvesting until just after 5.
I’ll be taking a folding chair next time I go to watch! LOL!
