firstice 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2022 Anyone been out to whitelily lake up the 527 lately? I’ve been out a few times later in the season in past years but never this early. Wondering what the ice/slush conditions are like and if anyone has taken their sled on the lake? I usually just walk out and wanted to make sure I’ll be able to do that this week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wall-e 1 Report post Posted December 27, 2022 I was there 2 weeks ago. About 1-2 inches of slush and at least 6" of ice. We fished just off the north end of the lower bay. We walked out - landed 4 Northerns in about 90 mins of fishing and called it a day as the temps dropped and wind picked up. Let me know how your trip goes this week - looking to get back there this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dale 21 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 I heard there was perch in white Lilly, do you guys ever catch any or Is it just pike? Also is there anywhere to park there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately with the weather and road conditions yesterday didn’t end up getting onto the lake. Entrance to launch was pretty snowed in and didn’t want to leave the truck on the shoulder with the snow coming down the way it was. Shovelled a parking spot out before calling it quits though so hopefully that helps someone lol Going to try and head out Saturday so if I am on the ice before you I’ll try and get an update!

I’ve heard perch too but I’ve only caught pike so far. Was hoping to get into some perch though! Also I’ve parked at the launch in the past but there was quite a bit of snow piled up from the last few days.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronC 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2023 Ive caught many small perch from shore in past years from the south end launch. My only ice fishing experience ended with us being skunked, so Im not sure the size of the perch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But normally when I’ve got onto a perch bite it wasn’t long before a pike showed up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
