There is great fishing in Lake Villard, where you can catch bass, crappies, northerns, sunfish, perch and walleyes.
Usually walk-on ice fishing begins around December 15th to Christmas time. The ice is typically thick enough to drive onto by January and ends around March 1st, with walk-on ending a few weeks later.
