Ice on lake Minnetonka Tonka is looking pretty good considering how warm it got and all the rain we got on top of that! Currently we are seeing 7 to 10 inches of good ice on the main lake. You will find spots with less ice around shorelines and bridges. You still need to proceed…

I’m based out of the Twin Cities and fish local lakes throughout the year as well as some of the tremendous musky fisheries we have around the state of Minnesota. I love a good adventure and have a long list of lakes that I’ll fish… this allows my boat to stay on good bites and put more fish in the boat!
