Now that we\u2019re deep into the winter season, everyone is looking for socially distant outdoor activities to get out of the house. Thankfully, living on the lake makes this feat easier. From cold-weather camping to snow skiing, there\u2019s no shortage of winter activities when you reside in a remote location. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who love fishing in the summertime, a popular winter variation of this sport is <\/span>ice fishing<\/span><\/a>. If you aren\u2019t familiar, ice fishing involves choosing a frozen lake, drilling a hole in the lake (using <\/span>power tools called augers<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>manual devices<\/span><\/a>), and waiting for a bite. Regardless of your location, there\u2019s bound to be an ice-fishing lake near you. Here are our top picks for the best ice-fishing lakes in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Michigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, Lake Michigan always appears on a list of \u201ctop lakes\u201d in many respects. It\u2019s no wonder why. For one, this Great Lake is one of the country\u2019s largest lakes, bordering multiple states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Michigan also boasts spectacular views with its <\/span>beachy shoreline<\/span><\/a>. When it comes to ice fishing, Lake Michigan is undoubtedly one of the country\u2019s top ice-fishing lakes. Its many marinas, bays, and harbors offer plenty of options for anglers to set up camp. For spectacular views, while you wait to reel in a walleye or whitefish beneath the ice, look no further than <\/span>Lake Michigan<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Champlain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This iconic lake is a <\/span>top fishing spot in Vermont<\/span><\/a>, New York, and Quebec. Lake Champlain is home to plenty of walleye, yellow perch salmon, and lake trout with hundreds of shoreline miles. In fact, the lake is so long that there are different hotspots for various fish species. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port Henry<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Champlain Bridge<\/span><\/a> are popular spots for catching salmon and lake trout, while you\u2019ll have luck reeling in white perch and bluegill at Bulwagga Bay. Due to this location\u2019s long winters, you can fish here through mid-March. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If these criteria aren\u2019t enough to sell you, Lake Champlain is also home to the <\/span>alleged lake monster<\/span><\/a>, Champy. To make your permanent residence on one of the top ice-fishing lakes, check out our <\/span>listings on Lake Champlain<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devil\u2019s Lake, North Dakota<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for one of the best ice-fishing lakes for social distancing, Devil\u2019s Lake takes the cake. With 100,000 acres of frozen water, this large body of water has plenty of space for every angler. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnewaukan Flats, Cactus Point, and Rocky Point are some popular spots. Although it\u2019s known as the \u201c<\/span>perch capital of the world<\/span><\/a>,\u201d you can also catch a variety of fish of surprisingly large sizes. Many anglers report coming home with a perch, pike, and walleye all in one fishing trip! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region\u2019s long winters offer a perfect opportunity to fish for multiple weekends. Just keep in mind that Devil\u2019s Lake isn\u2019t for beginners. Fishing here requires a license, so be sure to get your credentials sorted before planning a trip! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Washington, Minnesota<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a depth of 50 feet and spanning 1,487 acres, <\/span>Lake Washington<\/span><\/a> is one of the largest lakes in southern Minnesota. It\u2019s a popular fishing destination in summer and winter, and anglers flock to locations like Baker\u2019s Bay, Squirrel\u2019s Point, and Crystal Bay to reel in the seasonal catch. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, it\u2019s a great place to catch crappie, black bullhead, bluegill, and largemouth bass. Although fishing enthusiasts flock to Lake Washington from everywhere, it\u2019s especially beloved among nearby Minneapolis residents. This winter, Lake Washington is definitely worth the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silver Lake, California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

California didn\u2019t earn its reputation as the \u201c<\/span>Golden State<\/span><\/a>\u201d by coincidence. With more clear days than rainy days on average, the state home to Los Angeles and San Francisco is practically synonymous with sunshine. As such, it may come as a surprise that California is home to one of the best ice-fishing lakes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silver Lake, California, is the best of both worlds. Gorgeous in summer and winter, it\u2019s an incredibly scenic spot situated at Carson Mountain\u2019s base. The lake is known for catching large fish — some anglers have reportedly caught trout up to 12 pounds, 30 inches long. It\u2019s also home to one of the oldest fishing retreats in the nation, the <\/span>Silver Lake Resort<\/span><\/a>. If you live out west, Silver Lake is certainly worth the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Lake, Iowa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located in the 60-acre McIntosh Woods State Park, <\/span>Clear Lake<\/span><\/a> is one of the Midwest\u2019s most popular ice-fishing destinations. As the runner-up for Iowa\u2019s second-largest natural lake (second to Big Spirit Lake), there\u2019s plenty of space for anglers all winter long. When you\u2019re not sitting on ice hoping to catch bluegill or crappie, you can also check out the skiing and snowshoeing opportunities at this park. Plus, you can stay for the annual <\/span>wind kite festival<\/span><\/a> to witness some colorful skies over the frozen water.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses Lake, Washington<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although winters in the Pacific Northwest are sometimes too mild to produce the best ice-fishing lakes, <\/span>Moses Lake<\/span><\/a> is a prime destination for anglers when it does freeze over. It\u2019s especially popular for perch fishing, as a vast population typically shows up each winter. There\u2019s plenty of public access to this large, man-made lake, making it easy to find an ice-fishing spot. If you\u2019re a Seattle resident, ice fishing at Moses Lake is the perfect winter day trip. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
