Pepin ice

How is the ice at Frontenac and or Hok Si La?

Frontenac is a good 10″ BUT the point is not by the looks of it and the history of it.
Have not been on hoksila but seen a hub ways into the channel.
There is a massive heave that opened up river from there so beware.
In other words both are fishable with common sense. DM me how you do as I can share some of my info as well.

Thanks. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I have the same report for Frontenac as eyeguy. The folks I talkeded with said 10″ to 14″ until they were closer to where the channel runs, then they reported 4 to 6″.

The three groups I spoke to didn’t have much luck.

We were down to Pepin in a houseboat yesterday and found the ice didn’t start until just upstream of Point no Point. Normally it’s froze in Wacouta Bay. Strange year.

Thanks. This weekend’s forecasted cold temps should help. Where is the 2nd pic?

They were both taken at the same location.

Any catching going on? I’m guessing there is a lot of driving out there after all this cold. I’ll be heading that way next weekend. Hopefully the new Dinner Bells will prove effective.

I ain’t been out in weeks. Let me know how it goes for ya. I might make another trip, if not it might be with the boat?

Taking Friday off. Better morning or evening? I’ve only been over there once for a non-existant evening bite.

I went out from noon to 5:30 on Friday. Caught 1 7″ perch on a lg dinner bell spoon. 16 ft of water, 16 to 17 inches of ice.

Sounds like the bite has died down over there. I was there 4 weeks ago and didnt see all the fish movement that I had on the livescope the week before that.
