Ice Fishing/Ice Report-December 15th, 2024

Written by Mike Peluso

Ice conditions across the entire state are definitely shaping up a lot better than last season.

So far where I have been I’m seeing anywhere from 8 to 13 inches. Of course this is only where I have been so don’t take that as gospel across the entire state of North Dakota.

I just finally started guiding today as this report is coming out. So personally I haven’t done a ton of fishing yet. Mostly just looking around making sure the ice is safe for my clients.

The fishing reports will start to get a little more in depth now finally that we are actually fishing.

Most reports have been very promising all over ND right now. The big 3 are all seeing action and people are catching fish.

I do finally have my schedule for January and I do have a few scattered openings if you are interested. I should have my February dialed in here also within the next week or so and I would anticipate a few openings there also.

So if you are looking for a trip, big or small groups get ahold of me!
