Fishing guides are checking the ice conditions on Otter Tail Lake daily. Today they found ice from zero to five inches, without any consistance showing a lot of 1 to 2 inch spots. We have 3 to 5 inches of snow on the lake, making it hard to know what you have beneath your feet.

Yet it's making ice slowly, you'll find folks venturing out carefully on foot only. Riviera and Amor accesses have only 1 inch of ice out to 50 to 100 feet out.

Please be careful and call Ken's Tackle (218-495-2895) before you do anything. We don't want problems, so you have to use extreme caution when fishing by foot.
