This is my last ice fishing report of the season for me. I’m definitely excited to get back in the boat here on the Missouri River near Bismarck. 

The ice up on Devils Lake is holding up pretty good considering the up and downs we have had as far as the temperatures are concerned.  I do think however, once that ice starts to go it’s gonna go fast. 

The bite has been decent overall here lately.  Of course the days we can get our clients outside hole hopping we do much better. I’m hoping my last few days up here we will be able to do so. 

Perch have been showing themselves on the walleye spots with the walleyes.bye walleye bite has really turned for the better here as of late. 

As far as the river is concerned back in Bismarck.  It’s game on the day I get back to town.  Most ramps are clear of ice and guys are out fishing already.  I do have some early April dates available yet if anyone is interested. 

It’s been a long ice season, but overall I thought we had a good year considering the violent weather we have seen all winter.  It seemed everything was always extreme.  This tested us as guides no doubt, but I feel I’m a better fisherman because of it!
