Minnesota may be called the land of 10,000 lakes but it actually has 11,842 of them 10 acres or more. It only took 3 of them to have a great time ice fishing there in February 2018. After staying in Pelican Rapids on the 18th my first MN guide Ross Meister met me on the morning of the 19th at a bait shop in the community of Ottertail and from there I followed him driving across the frozen surface of Ottertail Lake until we got to one of his fish houses. This was my first time to drive across a frozen lake. I didn’t have to be told the old cliche’ - don’t try this at home. With 36” of ice for a driving surface I was completely comfortable driving on this hardtop glacial lake.
