Today will be the last day we will have our access open for the season.  It’s starting to get soft on top in the afternoons and the access is starting to erode   Frost is just starting to go out on the driveway and with the rain/snow coming this week it’s not worth it. The fishing […] The post March 20th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing...

Last evening we had freezing temps and it helped the conditions out on the ice.  There is not an ice depth problem as most of it is   26″-28″ up to 38″ on the roads.  It’s the water from melting snow.  It’s slowly starting to find it’s way down so in time it will be pretty […] The post March 18th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Yesterday 3 groups of anglers went out.  2 for Tullibee and 1 for Perch. I got a chance to talk to them when they left an no one had any luck.  One person tried 25 spots with his Pan-Optic’s out in the Tullibee Hole and didn’t see a one.  (Not good news for sure) The […] The post March 17th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Yesterday I went out an did my last plowing on the ice for the season.  I opened up about 2 miles of new roads criss-crossing the Tullibee Hole and a loop around the reefs  of Spider Island for Northern Pike.  With the warmer weather it won’t be too many more days before we’ll end up […] The post March 16th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fish...

Over the weekend a few anglers came out and tried for Perch Northern Tullibee.  Sunday as the weather warmed was when most showed up. Same story for Perch with alot being caught. But picking thru 20 or so for a 10″ keeper.  Lots of 7-8″ Perch out there now so there is some hope for […] The post March 14th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishin...

The weather this week has been more January like than March. We’ve been below zero most mornings (almost -20) yesterday.  We’ve been making ice….  The warm-up is set to begin Sunday thru next week. I decided not to plow any more roads to different areas from the lack of interest and the snow out there […] The post March 11th 2022 first appeared on...

Not much happening out there on the lake for fishing the last couple days. a few anglers have went out for Perch and Northern Pike and Tullibee.  But no one reported back or texted me on my phone about how they did.  They get a map that has my cell number on it so they […] The post March 9th 2022 first appeared on Lyback's Ice Fishing.

Not much to report out on the ice.  Some anglers went out and tried for Tullibee Perch and Northern Pike but none reported their catches so I would presume there wasn’t much going on. The snow/ice/sleet storm stayed well to our south and really didn’t do much at all up here. The weather sounds like […] The post March 6th 2022 first appeared on Lyb...

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...

Yesterday the bite was slow for most. There were many small Perch and Walleye but not much for “keepers.” Fishermen didn’t stop and report their catches so I will presume it was slow. Rentals overnight also didn’t have much action after dark; they reported when they came off the lake this morning. After Christmas when […] The post December 24th 20...

Fishermen out on the ice yesterday were busy with Perch and small Walleye. I received pictures of slot Walleye from a few anglers late afternoon and early evening.  From reports this morning it was pretty quiet overnight. Checking the ice in close we are good with 14″ plus the first 1/2 mile but beyond that […] The post December 23rd 2024 first ap...

Yesterday fishermen had a lot of action with mixed results. Small Walleye and Perch dominated the catch for most but some slot Walleye were reported; some sent in pictures of over-the-slot Walleye and the largest was a 26″ the largest I’ve seen.  Checking the ice the first 3/4 mile out where the rougher ice was […] The post December 22nd 2024 firs...
