    Has anyone heard how the ice or bite is in the Wabasha area backwaters? I have some items to pick up near there so I might as well fish.

    I saw a guy testing it with a spud bar yesterday when I went by. On my way back I saw him dragging a shack. I couldn’t tell you how much ice there is, especially with all this snow now

    Didn’t see anyone there this afternoon when I went by. Its gonna be weighed down and have that extra slush/ice layer i’m guessing with all the snow we got down that way.

    There was some limited ice along the hiway from Wabasha to Nelson two weeks ago on water where the trappers weren’t using boats yet. I think pontoon may have been walkable a week ago. Its hard to say now with the snow.

    I feel the best advice here is to tell you to NOT be the trail blazer. There’ll always be someone with a couple less smarts willing to take a chance at finding out what the ice will bear. No evidence of foot traffic, don’t fish it.

    I was fishing on 4-8 inches of ice depending on the area.
