With a very few anglers out the last couple days fishing for Tullibee perch and Northern Pike I did not hear any reports from them on how the bite was.  With the sleet ice and snow coming for the weekend I am not expecting to see anyone so we will wait and see what the […] The post March 4th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Not much to report on the lake.  Yesterday we got the last house off and into the lot.  a couple angler left that were out in wheelhouses overnight.  They reported a pretty slow bite. I reopened the road to middle Twin Island and Froe Well Drilling from Cook MN. went out with their equipment and […] The post March 1st 2022 first appeared on Lyback...

Today as fishermen left most reported that the las 24 hours the bite started picking up and some had some action.  After over 72 hours of a high barometer (some of the highest readings I had seen all winter) I think the Walleye whether there was alot of baitfish or not they just plain had […] The post February 27th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's...

Yesterday the bite was very slow with mostly small Perch activity. The barometer has been the highest I’ve seen it all winter for about three days and it has really slowed the bite. Last evening it dropped a couple points and we’ll see if the bite improves. Tomorrow as customers leave we will start pulling […] The post February 26th 2022 first app...

Today we opened up all the driveways to all the houses left out of our access. Permanents must get up here and get their houses ready to pull Sunday as everything is coming off the lake. We also plowed over 60 wheelhouse spots in all ranges of structure from deep edges to shallow basins where […] The post February 24th 2022 first appeared on Lybac...

Today we reopened all the roads with the exception to what we call the East Bar.  There is alot of snow out there once you get off the roads. Our main roads really held up well.  The east west main roads had more snow on them but reopened pretty good.  Its good we got alot […] The post February 23rd 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

We are out there and establishing roads.  Everything is a go for this weekend for wheelhouses the remaining permanets and rentals.  We have some rentals still available and will be call and confirming the existing reservations. Wheelhouses coming both seasonal and weekend wheelhouses will need to call and get on the list as you will […] The post F...

Today it snowed most of the afternoon and we received another 3-6 inches but it was hard to tell with all the wind. By late afternoon the snow let up and as I write this the wind is dropping. I spent all day clearing the snow around the place and the storage lot. I would […] The post 2-22-22 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

This morning the snow started about 4:30 am and by noon we had about 6 inches on the ground. This afternoon there is light flurries and a strong NE wind. But looking out on the lake things are looking pretty good so far. Tonight we are forecasted to get another two to four inches and […] The post February 21st 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice F...

This is the first post I put two days together as it was just too busy to take the time to complete it. It was a very busy weekend for me. Friday the 18th was our windiest day on the ice I had seen for quite awhile. Most of the afternoon it was a steady […] The post February 19-20th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Yesterday the bite was slow with the high barometer but as the wind switched overnight the few out there had some action. Today we are supposed to get very strong NW winds 30-50 mph and with what snow is out there is going to be major drifiting of snow. The roads will more than likely […] The post February 18th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice...

Yesterday with the high pressure moving in the barometer went up and the bite slowed. And not much to report. We are going to have some very strong NW winds starting Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. So if you are coming up for the weekend with a wheelhouse for a rental or to your permanent  […] The post February 17th 2022 first appeared on...

The Walleye bite was on the transitons again last evening and this morning but you had to be on the right spot. Nothing fast and furious but some nice C/R pics were sent in from a couple anglers. We made it to what we call “The Bowl” and moved four rentals in it for the […] The post February 16th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Overnight for the few that were out in the deeper transitions did pretty good with C/R Walleye. No much for numbers but nicer sized ones. So far there are spots available on the weekend wheelhouse list and we have a couple basic houses available for the weekend.  The weather looks like it will be fairly […] The post February 15th 2022 first appear...

Yesterday as fishermen came off the reports were mixed some did ok and others not.  The better reports were from 28-32 ft transitions and 14-18 foot rocks next to shallower reefs. Perch action was best in the “basin” areas.  Quite a few 25″ plus Walleye were C/R. This comng week we are going to be […] The post February 14th 2022 first appeared on...

The weeknd bite was off and on with Friday nite and thru Saturday morning being the better times. As the weather cleared an barometer went up down went the bite. Saturday overnite the deeper transitions was the better place to fish with some nice C/R pics from customers indicated. Some of the anglers that worked […] The post February 13th 2022 fir...

The bite is definitely at night from what I’ve seen.  Both in deep and shallow spots. Rock to mud transitions drops to 14-16 feet from shallower edges of reefs seem to be the best.  Daytime Perch action in the basins from 18 to 24 feet is where they are at it seems at least in […] The post February 12th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

The Walleye bite the last 24 hours was mainly at night and both deep edges and shallow. the weather changes I’m sure had something to do with it.  Some nice C/R pics were sent in. This week I had the honor to have two people from the Netherlands out in our rental for a couple […] The post February 11th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Yesterday reports were from mainly deep water during the overnight period. The other reports were in 12-16 feet in the early morning and late afternoon tradidtional times. Fishermen will need to pick a spot and give it a try for the weekend. This afternoon and tonight we are supposed to see 1″-3″ of snow possible […] The post February 10th 2022 fi...

Yesterday’s temps went above freezing for the first time in awhile. It was a nice day to be out there. The bite was pretty slow for most. But there was still some action in some areas. Sounds like a couple windy days ahead with some snow and possibly freezing drizzle. It’s supposed to settle down […] The post February 9th 2022 first appeared on Ly...
