COMINS LAKE
The lake is now covered in ice, with thicknesses hovering around 4 inches or so. Anglers should exercise caution, as there is a possibility of thinner areas that may be unsafe. The lake was recently stocked with around 8,500 trout. Anglers can expect their harvests to range from 8”-10” with the new stock and 16”-24” with the more mature stock that was already in the lake. Anglers are encouraged to target Pike and dispatch them accordingly (unless they are radio tagged by NDOW- see note below.)
*Please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several Pike. These Pike will have an orange tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna coming from their stomach. Please return these fish to the water. All other Pike must be dispatched if caught. *
ILLIPAH RESERVOIR
The lake is now iced over with thicknesses hovering around 3”. Anglers should exercise caution, as there is a possibility of thinner areas that may be unsafe.
