I was out on Sunday at Whitefish lake to do work on my ice shack, my friend that works at the resort said the lake froze over Thursday evening I also walked out from the main launch a little ways. I'll be going out again Saturday, I'll chop a hole and measure or even drop a line of I deem it actually safe to venture out.

I expected to open this thread and see pictures of people driving on Whitefish … ;)

I was out on whitefish today. There was 4 to 5 inches of ice out a few hundred feet from the launch. I fished another lake past whitefish that only had 3 inches and saw a few of the bigger lakes still had patches of open water.

Fished Whitefish on Saturday the 17th 150m or so from the main launch Islands ( right hand island ). There was 5 1/4" of black ice.

There was 15” as of today with light patchy snow cover. ATV/UTV, trucks or sleds are good to go. Fishing  was slow during the day. Three pike and a bunch of little perch biting for our group of five.

Whitefish is mostly the same depth, there isn't really much in the way of structure or depth changes. Your best bet is to find the edge of a weedbed. lots of guys fish close to the boat launch, or near the islands across the lake from the launch.

Whitefish isn’t really too exciting as far as depth and contour go, there are a few depth changes around and you might have some luck by checking on Navionics and using that to get a better understanding of the lake

Drove out in trucks from Burandts Resort 4km out to my shack. No pressure ridges to cross with that route. 18inches of ice out in the middle with no slush on the way out.
