I was at Reeds yesterday and of course there was a lot of conversation concerning the late ice out. Most believe the Walleyes will spawn under the ice. I can remember past late ice seasons and the walleye fishing was very good. The key is the location of the bait, on Leech the bait is shiners. If the shiners are still in the shallow water the fish will also be there. Last season was a very early ice out and most of the bait were deeper and the bite was tough. The current laden areas of the lake are now ice free, the Roosevelt Canal is open and the areas around Shingabee Island are open. Starting to see most dark areas on the ice which is a good sign.
