When does ice fishing start in Minnesota?
Black Tomorrow asked:
I am writing a book, and part of the story involves an ice fishing trip in Minnesota, but I need to know if early to mid December is too early to ice fish. Living in Florida, I’m not that familiar with the fishing seasons up there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I live in northern MN and there is plenty of ice by than. The season is open for game fish from may until Feb. For pan fish the season never closes.
I have seen fishable ice as early as end of Oct, or as late as mid Dec. Usually it is about the end of Nov when we start getting enough ice to walk on with nothing more than a bucket to sit on. It takes at least 4 inches to walk on. This last season I was out there with my shack in early Dec.
from like feb. to like dec.
this might help
you can try to google search lakes and dates they
are normally avalible for ice fishing to make your
book really acurate!
