Was at MacGregor today and all the snow has melted off the lake with the chinook, The ice is 3 inches thicker than it was 6 days ago. With no snow insulating and a decent cold snap, the ice should be safely driveable by New Years.
So Walleye and Pike are netted [but not as many as we would think], and when the Fish Cops are watching, its strict. Hmmmm. Your post does not inspire much confidence. Sounds to me like the commercial fishermen get to keep Walleye and undersized pike, when we anglers can't. BOOOO!
