I was hoping to squeeze in one more fishing day before the lakes freeze over. Does anyone have any recent updates?

This cook county website has a handful of live cams on GFT lakes— gunflint, seagull, bearskin, poplar, aspen all look open water. I’m sure some of the tiny shallower lakes might look a lil different? That site is https://www.visitcookcounty.com/community/gunflint-trail/

As of Saturday...trout, mink, kimball lakes didn’t even have any shoreline skim ice. However, a couple ponds in the 20 acre range were completely ice covered, as well as all beaver ponds. Heading up the arrowhead trail today, to see what the status is.

I would definitely like an update. Thanks.

It'll be a little bit yet. Sun's too high in my opinion.

Kimball went from no ice, to 75% covered. And will most likely lock up tonight. Carrot and Shoe Lakes were 100% ice covered, with 3/4 inches along shoreline.

I was on Tofte Lake on Friday and the water temp was 44 degrees. Imagine many of the deeper lakes still have some time before freezing...

on Brule Lake/Nov 4.
ice by the landing/chopped into open water.
at 9 am the lake had a skim of ice...from an inch to two inches thick...
it disappeared by the early afternoon....
wind is a friend to ice breaking...but the wind on Brule come November is always a challenge to paddle in...
good luck/be safe.
