ATTENTION: Ice Fishing Update (December 24th)
Due to recent changes in the weather and current ice conditions… We will NOT be ice fishing during the upcoming Holiday Week (between Christmas and New Year).
As of today, all ice fishing activity at Ballard’s Resort will be postponed until JANUARY 1st.
For those of you with existing reservations you will be contacted by our office today to discuss reservation options.
Otherwise, everything per ice fishing is being cancelled until JANUARY 1ST.
Lots of calls today confirming plans for post-holiday-ice-fishing (between Christmas and New Year).
– As of right now we are ice fishing, and we have our fish houses on the main lake hovering at a depth of about 20ft.
– This is a short ride just offshore from Pine Island, and in our location there is 10-12 inches of ice.
– For transportation to the fish houses we are using our small SUV Trackers, pulling enclosed and heated utility trailers, transporting 4-6 anglers at a time.
– The good news is… In the recent days that we have been out fishing… We are catching fish.

December 18th Fishing Update
Hey Sportsfans!
Another quick ice update…
The guides have been on the ice, checking the conditions daily. They continue to find varying thicknesses of ice. In good spots, there are 7-9″ of ice. There are still large sections of open water and spots where only 3″ of ice were found.
For groups that have reservations with us before Christmas, please be patient. We will continue to monitor the ice conditions, and will be in contact with you as soon as we have an update regarding your reservation. In the meantime, please give our office a call if you have any questions! 218.634.1849
