That’s interesting…thanks for pointing it out. I’ve never caught any fat ones through the ice and by the time I’ve been able to catch them after ice out, it’s already post spawn. I guess you have to get them at just the right time.
Yep, now through mid April or so is when you can catch some monster females up on Lake of the Woods. They are moving into the flats before going up river to spawn.
What makes it so fun is, every time a flag goes up on a tip up, you don't what you'll have on the other end.
