Brainerd, Minnesota Fishing Report:November 17, 2017 and Ice Fishing Update


Driving toward Nisswa this afternoon on 371, I saw three or four pickups parked in the ditch, and a few people out ice fishing on North Long Lake.  I don't know if they were catching any, but my son and I were surprised to see them fishing after the recent rain. Either way, I am going to do some fishing tomorrow morning and see if the early ice action is decent.

Here is the fishing report from outdoornews.com for the Brainerd Lakes Area:

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA

You’ll find ice on the shallow bays and some small lakes, but not enough to walk on. A few anglers were fishing from boats last weekend, but developing shoreline ice has eliminated those opportunities. A few cold nights might be all that’s needed for walkable ice to form on those spots that froze earliest.

CROSBY AREA
The big lakes and mine pits still had open water on Tuesday morning. Some small lakes and bays had as much as 4 inches of ice last weekend, but that likely deteriorated with the warm weather early this week. Deer hunting reports have been mixed, harvest is likely up a bit from last year, with a lot of antlerless  deer and small bucks taken.
