Conditions on Lake Winnipeg / Being an Icefishing guide

What a weekend....whiteouts, wind, deepfreeze and slush.

Despite mother nature's best efforts we still got out, got around and caught fish. Some damn nice greenbacks at that.

Anyone coming up to fish Lake Winnipeg....THERE IS SLUSH. Most often associated with ice ridges and rough ice but also elsewhere. With all the snow you cannot see the rough ice often times and this caused issues for some vehicles the last few days. Travel in groups, bring shovels and tow straps, ice anchors to winch yourself out and a charged cell phone.

After dealing with the weather, slush, breaking auger #6 for the season. We found fish deeper. Very strong suspended bite going on.
