Comments:

Scott and I were ice fishing for walleyes in a new spot today below the dam. I have never seen anybody ice fish here before, but Scott and I had caught a number of walleyes here near the end of the open water season and we had both agreed to give it a try.
We were set up just below the Information Center tight to the Minnesota bank. We were fishing in water anywhere from ten to thirty feet. I never caught a fish, but I did have at least one decent mark on my Hummingbird lead me to believe one was investigating my bait. Scott was able to catch one very small walleye, and once again he out fished me.

Observations:

No one was fishing up by the short wall tonight and if I would guess I would have to say it is because the ice up in that area has to be unsafe.
