Waterhen Lake.

Planning for a trip there this spring and looking for information on the average date for ice being off the lake .

Usually off just before may long. I'd say average would be the 15th or so.

Thanks for that.

[HL_transplant]

No problem. What are you targeting?

[jungleboy]

Pike , walleye.

Walleye are decent in June. Definitely better pike lakes in the area

If the water is high enough to get into little Waterhen - early in spring - that's the ticket on that lake.

Inflow from the Waterhen river on the south side is a good spot to pick up walleye in spring.

For pike, there is a good weed bed in deeper water near the “lighthouse”on the east side of the lake, north of the channel into little waterhen.

Caught a 22 lb pike in Waterhen back in the 90’s. Ice fishing South East lake (east of waterhen river). Haven’t fished that lake for long time. Enjoyed both North/South campgrounds.

There's also the point at Buffalo Bill's Point - straight North from Tawawa on the east shore. Work around that point and you can pick up some really nice Pike and Walleye. Caught a 9lb walleye and 14lb pike on two passes (with 30 minutes of each other) in that area trolling a large lil' Ernie crankbait.
