Best ice fishing lakes for fishing trips

If you are planning ice fisning trips this may interest you as it’s about the best ice fishing lakes. I ran a poll on the fishing reports forum as to what the best ice fishing lakes in Eastern South Dakota were and the results were as follows.

Lake Thompson 57%
Fish Lake 10%
Dry Lake 10%
Long Lake 6.7%
West Bend 6.7%

Oak Lake, Brush Lake and Lake Herman filled out the rest of the percentages.

It’s probably a good idea to ask on here or on the fishing forums, where the hot ice fishing lakes are, when you are planning your fishing trip. If it’s your only trip of the winter you sure want to find the best ice fishing that you can.

All of these lakes are great lakes for ice fishing and I agree with Lake Thompson in Kingsbury county as being the best overall ice fishing lake in the area. The Bait Box or the Motel in Lake Preston can give you a lot more information on which lakes are currently hot.

Bo and Toni are both very knowledgable about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Of course you’d expect that from a bait shop or a motel that caters to fishermen and hunters. Having the motel and the bait shop on the same property makes it very convenient for you to get the information you need.

So there you have what are considered the best ice fishing lakes in Eastern SD by the guys on the fishing forum and a couple of places to find even more information for your fishing trips.
