Crawling valley

Heading out to crawling valley in the morning for my maiden ice fishing trip. Taking my son for the day hoping to get a few hammer handles to keep us entertained. I know the spots from summer, but where would be best to drive on and start my day? From the main campground or drive around to the other side?

There was a crawling Valley thread not to long ago and I believe it was the N.side, don't quote me tho, search the thread, there was lots of info in there if memory serves me correctly.

I've never ice fished there so I can't help you for driving on but this might increase your chances, good luck and let us know how it goes..

We got 4 pike in the 4-5 lb range in about 3 hrs. 20 inches of ice and safe to drive on. Need 4x4for sure. Fish were in about 15 ft of water right off bottom with jigging raps and minnow heads. Missed a few as well.

just be careful where you drive on the lake there is usually thin ice around the islands. more than one truck has gone through right F and W?
