Ice Report: 8 in
Contacted lodge ice is only 8” thick

Spent three nights August 3rd to the 5th at grist lake camp grounds fishing was ok only a 2 star day caught two keepers

Fished Grist on Mar. 24th on the north end. Drilled a hole in surprisingly 4.2ft of water, dropped a cold lake special and hooked a 77cm. So fished from 4-18 feet and caught 7 fish(2keepers) and lost 3-4. Also caught a 87cm Pike and a whitefish. Good day!

Anyone fishing here lately ? How is the bite ?

Went to grist Jan 25th got their at 6 am set up in 100ft of water nothing .. waited till sunrise moved into 6-10 ft of water for pike and landed 25-30 lake trout trip of a life time !! Set up on the left side of the lake from the road .. ranging from 3lb 8 lbs ... caught on anchovies 4 -6" ... action all day ! 24" of ice !

I give this place no stars! Way to over priced and lots of hidden fees. Paid $200 per night then you find out when you get there that it's another $20 to boat over there (it's only accessible by boat) each way! Lady asked us if we wanted fire wood for fire, had to chop it ourselves, then they charged us $40 when we checked out, that was one expensive 10 min fire (too many mosquitos out, wasn't enjoyable being out there). Then my boat broke down so had to rent a horrible tinner for $190/day. Didn't even come with an anchor we just drifted all over the place. Ended up just using it once. Had to get it towed back, had my 4-month-old daughter with me, charged me $100. He knew he could charge me anything he wanted but the guy is just money hungry, doesn't care about you or making sure you have a good time. The cabins smelled of propane, screens were all broken so all the mosquitos kept getting in, the kitchen table was held together by duct tape, linens have never been washed, and the bed was built with twigs, not sure what you're getting for $200 when nothing is up to code, your safety is compromised, they charge for everything and rip you off with hidden fees. And you have to bring your garbage back with you. Run by lazy pieces of crap, worst fishing weekend ever, never will they get another cent from me!

Ice Report: 14 in
14 - 16 inches of ice. Stay to the plowed road around the south side of the lake and you will be ok.

Fishing was terrible. Rained 45mm in three days. Also if you plan on staying at grist lake lodge is is very old and outdated. Wasn't overly impressed for the price

How did you make out at grist? I'm heading there in a week and a half.

I m heading out to Grist on the weekend, anyone been out lately, how is the road after the warm weather.

Went there twice so far this winter, first time caught 6 nice lakers biggest being close to 30 inches, fishing seems good about 50 yards off the lodge, using smelts or minnows on tip ups.

Road was good going in, they have a road plowed around the waters edge to the lodge. Fishing was good and there is 10 to 12 inches easy

We are planning to head up to Grist Lake this weekend does anyone know what the road is like up there?

We are planning a large trip next weekend, how is the road in?

Went to grist on Jan 25, 26/2013 and had a good time with good friends!! The skidooing this year is amazing, lots of snow.. 4' in some spots. Fishing was good, caught 2 first day and 4 the next day and they guy next to us caught a 17lbs- 89cm jackfish.

How much snow is there around grist and where's the hot spots ? Never fished on this lake before

How is the road out to grist? Never been there and want to give it a try

I was out yesterday, Ice is about a foot and a half thick, couple lakers, fine day

I was wondering if anyone checked the ice thickness this year? It's December 2 and can't wait to get out there!

Never had a unsuccessful trip yet! Fishing is great!
