Now that winter is upon us, there aren’t many options for going out and catching some of our favorite fishy meals – or are there? Winter is the perfect time to go ice fishing, just get your waders, some warm clothing and get to fishing! We’ve got some awesome places listed for you to get your fishing on!

Oneidea Lake, New York

Oneidea spans over 51,000 acres and is known as the Walleye Lake of New York. With more fish per acre than any other lake in New York, you’re sure to get a good catch in. And right now is the best time for ice fishing – the ice on the lake should be thick enough to even take a polaris snowmobile out on the lake.

Higgins Lake, Michigan

With a variety of trout and a deep frozen lake, this is the perfect location to go ice fishing. Higgins Lake covers more than 9600 acres. Every year fishermen have been known to bring home 20-pound trout. You don’t want to miss out on this great opportunity to get a good catch.

Lake of the Woods, Ontario

This lake sits on the border of Canada and the United States, and therefore also sits in Manitoba and Minnesota. It is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the U.S. and fishing is open in this sweet spot year-round. With more than 40 fishing resorts surrounding the lake, it won’t be hard to plan a trip here for your ice fishing excursion.
