Anyone driving across elinor to islands?

Fished few hundred feet into the bay at the public boat launch on the south side.. Lots of ice 15"-18" thick all over! 10-12' of water.. No bites today!!

100-150 yards in from boat launch. Ice 18 inches thick. Flood water everywhere. In center of lake upto 2 ft of flood water.and random soft spots. 4 small pike 1 keeper. Slow fishing for everyone we talked to.

Any ice reports for this lake? Want to give it a try

Tks slip bobber ,heading there today try are luck

Yes good ice, fishing was slow

Has anyone been on the lake this yr ?

Lots of melt on top, ice is still very thick.

Capper27, there isn't anywhere around the lake to camp. It was all bought out privately a few years back, however the islands make for great camping, there is a spot to set up your tent and have a fire. Most likely a little too cold for it in the winter though.

Agreed, our lakes are being overpopulated with walleye. They are concerned with the age class of the fish not the population and it's killing off all the perch in our lakes. They need to start stocking perch and open up a walleye slot size.

Thanks to the bs conservation and tags for walleye the perch lakes are gone

How's the perch bitting out here

Thanks Slip bobber, hoping to get there sometime in January.

Access is good you can drive anywhere on the lake. About 2ft of ice last week. Fishing was slow But with the cold we didn't move much. Can anyone point me in the direction of the sunken island...

Anyone know ice thickness here

Was out on blackett today, lots of Flood water. I heard all those lakes are like that. But enough ice for quads/sleds.

anyone been out to Elinor Lake ice fishing yet ? What are the ice conditions ?

Great day of fishing, 43cm to 49cm walleyes, big jacks.

A great day of fishing caught lots of fish little pikes and nice walleyes and a few perch no keepers just a lot of fun

Is there any Pike or keepable walleye on this lake

the access is good on Elinor, south side follow the east side of the lake to get around. about 3 weeks ago it had a little flood water, should be frozen by now. good luck

Anybody know how the access is onto the lake

Any perch biting at all?

18" with a very small amount of flood water

What's the ice thickness

Need feedback on ice going up there to fill tags this weekend any info will help

Just wondering if anyone has been out on the ice? I'm headed there next week and was wondering about the conditions and the bite.

Perch all sizes. Caught two over twelve inches. Ten feet off the second weed bed. In six feet of water. Who would have thought.

The next walleye draws will include elinor lake as an draw lake which is great to see that the lake has recovered.

Anyone been here lately and what's the fishing and ice like ??

caught at least 50 walleye and 1 pike

It is the BEST LAKE EVER!!!

This lake sucks

Last year it wasn't bad. Small walleye and jacks. Perch were reaching the 12" mark though
