For most winters on the north shore in Minnesota, Lake Superior is covered by ice approximately 40 to 95% of the time. The last time the entire lake froze over was back in 2014.  Ice fishing is one of the best ways to relax on a winter afternoon on the north shore and since our gorgeous fishing cabin retreat on Lake Superior is just a short walking distance of forty feet, you get to enjoy a lot of ice fishing and when you get tired or cold just simply walk  back for some warm creature comforts. When ice fishing on the north shore, a safe rule to follow is to make sure the ice is at least four inches thick and make sure to check ice conditions before heading out on the lake. If there is a path then follow that one since ice thickness may vary depending on the area be sure to check more than one spot. During winter, the metabolism of fish slows down and reduces its need for oxygen, which means it is very easy to catch and release. You can use a needlenose pliers to remove a lip hook and if the fish has swallowed the hook simply cut the line and it will just dissolve inside the fish and then just ease it back in the water. Catching 20 pound trout is very likely when you go ice fishing near our beautiful fishing retreat on Lake Superior.
