Ice fishing for walleye was excellent the weekend of February 10 before the winter storm hit. Fish were caught off of Crane Creek, SE of Rattlesnake Island, off the South Bass Island state park, and 1 to 3 miles W of Catawba State park. Most fish were 18 to 22” with a few larger fish. Strong NE winds on 2/13 will most likely cause a water level change and could drastically change ice conditions. Before planning an ice fishing trip call bait stores or ice guides to check local conditions. Also pay attention to wind forecasts when venturing out on the main lake. Wind shifts can cause wide cracks to open in the ice and prevent crossing back over the crack when trying to return.
