At first glance, the numbers from last winter’s creel survey on Lake of the Woods might suggest ice fishing pressure reached an all-time high, but a new survey design the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources implemented last winter makes the results an “apples-and-oranges” comparison.

Anglers last winter logged just shy of 3.2 million hours of fishing pressure on Lake of the Woods, compared with more than 2.5 million hours during each of the previous three winters.
