Thumbs up Pigeon Lake Report

One word. Fantastic!

The best ice fishing I have had there in years. Seen tons and caught my limit of whites mixed with the odd walleye and pike. Made for a very nice outing. I was very surprised to see how big the whites were on average. This was my third time out on Pigeon and I have done well every time out. FYI, this was the only time I kept any for the smoke house. I believe in Carma so the first two outings were strictly C&R.

Ice was getting near 18" which made using the hand auger a bit tough. Hard packed snow drifts every now and then but it was pretty easy trucking on the lake itself.

What day were you there fishing?
What time of day?
Any hints on what you were using for a hook?

Congratulations Penner! That sounds like an awesome day out. Limiting out on whites is a huge feat in my books. Glad to hear some good reports coming from Pigeon. Sounds encouraging.
