We'd like to thank the Jiffy Ice Drills Facebook page for sharing this great early-season pike catch from Upper Red Lake!

All ice anglers that are ready, willing, and able to get out on the ice should check with their local forecasters and community fishing pages for up-to-date info on weather conditions.

We want you to be safe and successful so that you can keep sharing great experiences like this one!
