That's a Wrap on Ice Fishing Season on Lake Minnetonka as Landings Aren't Usable Anymore
February 18, 2026
Ice fishing season is officially over for us here at Set the Hook Guide Service. The landings we were using lately are both unsafe so that makes it a no-brainer.
We're going to start prepping for Spring here on Lake Minnetonka. Now is also a great time to book a fishing trip for the upcoming season. Whether you're looking for the spring panfish / crappie bite, walleyes, or big largemouth bass or more...we got you covered (depending on time of the year as well).
I'm passionate about fishing on Lake Minnetonka, and I'd love the ability to show you a day on the water.
We do have some great dates still available, so what are you waiting for???
The ice is now off of Lake Minnetonka and the open water fishing season has begun. Get your fishing rods ready to target them hungry crappies on the warmer days.
Once we get the warmer weather and the ice is off the crappies will move in. Try slow moving plastics or a bobber with a gulp alive minnow in the northern bays.
The warm weather will soon melt the snow and ice and we will be fishing for Largemouth bass and crappies in the shallow coves of Lake Minnetonka and other lakes.
