Valentine’s Day Ice Fishing Report

Springsteel Resort Ice & Fishing Report:

“The road continues to be plowed out to south buffalo point and whiskey flats. With 30 plus inches of ice mostly everywhere there has been no issues with traffic on the lake.

Fishing remains pretty steady. The best fishing has been in 26 to 28ft of water with mostly walleye being caught with a few sauger and perch mixed in.

The bite has been light this last week so don’t be afraid to use a little smaller tackle and don’t forget your electronics. Gold, pink and red have been the best colors this week with chubs or shiners.

It’s not too late to pick up tickets for the annual Warroad Area Chamber of Commerce & Springsteel Fishing Derby.  Over $30,000 in prizes will be given away.

Good luck fishing this weekend and have fun!”

Springsteel Resort Ice and Fishing Report.

“The road was plowed Thursday after the wind earlier in the week. The road is 6 miles long and ends between South Buffalo Point and Whiskey flats. There are a couple cracks running around with the extra weight of the snow but doesn’t seem to be causing any issues as of now.

On the fishing side of things, it’s been pretty steady. Most houses are spread out between Buffalo and Whiskey Flats. A lot of them are in the 24 to 27 ft.”  We are getting a mix of fish but mostly walleye. There are a few perch and sauger mixed in with gold and glows being the go-to colors.”
