Have not been out yet, and I will be in the cities this weekend working at the ice show, but I have been hearing ice reports from open water to 8 inches... I'm still in the very wary mode when going out on the ice...

If my eyes didn't decieve me, I saw some portables on the East side of lake Bemidj this last weekend. There was 2" off the Northwoods landing and that was only 15' out. It'll be a bit for that end.

Took out the binoculars today and saw a couple three houses on the other side of Bemidji from the school. Going to the ice fishing show this weekend and then it'll be game on for me.

Was on the north side of Bemidji yesterday. Still open water in the middle of the north end. Cought a few northerns and some small perch, no eyes. Not a whole lot going. 6 inches of solid ice, hope this snow doesn't stick. Anybody else seeing any fish in the area?
