    Okoboji and ice?

    Is there a website to show ice out on the lakes in this area? Anyone ever fish them right after ice out? Getting spring fever pretty bad!!!

    I fished the Okoboji Open last year on May 6th and West O had just completely opened up right at a week prior. The smaller lakes opened sooner but I don’t know exactly when. I follow a guide’s Facebook page called Lake Okoboji Fishing. He usually does a good job of posting current ice conditions.

    There are a couple of web cams that you can find via google. They will give you an idea.

    Funny, just came in here to see if there was any chatter about this exact thing.

    Us Minnesotans are getting anxious.....

    Looking at okojobi.com webcams looks like the ice went out last night. The Emporium cam had ice off shore thats gone. Hmmm...

    After looking down a hole on 24+" of ice over the weekend, I'm more than chomping at the bit to get on some soft water!!!
