About 13 inches of ice but not much activity as far as driving on it yet. Name: sellner Hobart_Lakeis the lake froze and ready to ice fish on yet????? Name: steve Hobart_Lakefished Hobart on wednesday Jan 14 hammered the pearch Name: bghgf Hobart_LakeYour e-mail request was forwarded to me for response. You asked the status of Hobart Lake and whether or not it was open to year round fishing. It is open to year round fishing. It is an easement refuge with the US Fish and Wildlife Service but language in the easement states that one of the purposes is to allow for fishing. I know there was some confusion in past years but it's since been discussed and dealt with. Thanks for your interest. Name: gabe Hobart_Lakefished S hobart sat.very slow bite brang six home 9". Name: outdrznd Hobart_LakeFish are biting, nice ones too!!!! It's good to see that the lake has become active again. Name: outdrznd Hobart_Lakegone huntin, I am not so certain either if access with a boat is permitted or not. If you scroll down a ways, you will see a post I had made inserting a copy of an email I received from Terry Steinwand(Chief fisheries division)stating that Hobart IS OPEN to year around fishing. I should check with him regarding the boat issue. Name: gone huntin Hobart_LakeIF I'am correct, you cannot fish Hobart after Ice off. Hobart is a waterfowl refuge, which means that you cannot put a boat on the lake at all. The only time you can fish the lake is off shore or on the ice in the winter after all the waterfowl has left the area. Correct me if I'am wrong? Name: outdrznd Hobart_LakeHas anyone tried the open water fishing on Hobart?? It could be a great opportunity to check for any action with the perch. Name: MN hater Hobart_LakeThat is an insult. Yah we need minnesotans to teach us how to fish, just like we need minnesotans to teach us how to hunt. What a joke!! <rest of post snipped by webmaster> <Reason=this is not the place for inflammatory remarks like that. You're on MY site 'talkin' smack...and that is just not going to happen. This website is for sharing of information about fishing and sharing information amongst fishermen. It is NOT a State vs. State website. We can discuss issues in a civil manner, even disagree. But when folks start calling each other names and making personal attacks, even in a general way...it stops. Please observe these rules.> Name: Thull Hobart_LakeMaybe you need some Minnesota fisherman, to show you how to fish. :) Name: Brad Anderson Hobart_LakeI have heard Hobart is full of perch this year, only problem is that their not hungry!! Somebody SUPPOSEDLY took a underwater camera out there and saw perch so until you go out there who knows?? I have seen people fishing out there lately, don't know if they caught anything or not, just a thought Name: Claytus Hobart_LakeHobart is pretty dwindled; you might catch 1 or 2 there but I would wait a couple years to see if it rebounds. Sanborn Lake off of ND 1 going alright. Tons of fish, mostly real tiny; I haven't caught a perch that small since a Minn. lake. Also have had decent luck at Heinrich Martin for perch and sunnies. There's not even suppose to be any perch out there, but we caught them. Dumb illegal dumping; like the sunnies weren't stunted before. Good Luck Name: Bandit Hobart_LakeIs Hobart dead?I wanted too take my four year old boy out and slam some perch but havent heard nothing about it this year? Name: gabe Hobart_Lakehit n.hobart sat.not a bite nothing on the graff.tried moon lake 2 6"pertch bad first day,they have to bite sooner or latter?talked to 4 other guys on hobart nothing. Name: Spess Hobart_LakeFished Hobart, Friday, December 6. Skunked. Talk to three other groups and there was one fish between them. Is there any truth to the possible kill off from some Algae?? Curious? Last winter out there was a blast. Name: Skunked Again Hobart_LakeThanks for the info, now is there anywhere I can get a list of where the heck these lakes are at? I would appreciate it. I grew up around the areas, but we used to call them sloughs. Thanks Name: Allen Hobart_Lakehttp://www.state.nd.us/gnf/fishing/stockinglist.html Skunked again, the above link is NDGF's web site on stocking lists. Name: Skunked Again Hobart_LakeI was just wondering if anyone knew of a place that I could download, or buy, a list of lakes that have recently been stocked. Thanks Name: outdrznd Hobart_LakeThanks ND833 for the ice info for Hobart. It should be doing fine by this weekend with this cold weather!! Hows the ice in your neck of the woods doing?? Name: ND833 Hobart_LakeFished Hobart on 12/01/02. 10 to 12 other anglers. Nobody had a bite all afternoon. Ice varied from 5 to 3 inches. Name: outdrznd Hobart_LakeI am looking for ice condition reports for Hobart and/or other area lakes like St Mary's. I hope someone can advise me of these ice conditions as my son and I are planning to punch some holes this weekend.(Saturday)
Name: sully Hobart_Lakei heard that there is 6 inches of ice, but there is some water on top but i dont think youll have to worrie about that after today. Name: gabe Hobart_Lakeme and a friend went to hobart last saterday on the north side the one bay was frozen with scatterd patches of water we went to some other area lakes about 2"of ice and scattered patches of water hope to punch some holes soon. Name: sully Hobart_Lakehows the ice doing on hobart? and how thick is it Name: outdrznd Hobart_LakeI also emailed NDGF and received the following reply from Terry Steinwand of the Fisheries Division. This should help with anyone else's curiosity. Blair: Your e-mail request was forwarded to me for response. You asked the status of Hobart Lake and whether or not it was open to year round fishing.

Name: Scott McNamee Hobart_Lakesorry for the tests Scott McNamee Auggie264 I talked to a game warden a couple of weeks ago and fishing on Hobart was opened to year round. I might have go to Devils Lake via Jamestown and make a pit stop at Hobart. Snowman If there was someone out there, I believe he was there illegally. Hobart is closed until December 10th because it is either considered a waterfowl refuge or rest area. njsimonson Ok, not to freak anyone out, or get anyone's hopes up. But a reliable source told me there was someone out on the 2-3" of ice that was on hobart last weekend catching perch. More balls than brains I'd guess, but heck, that's a testament to a die-hard (or wet and cold) ice fisherman. I don't think deer opener will allow any of us to icefish this weekend, as temps will be in the mid-40s with rain. But its a sign that maybe the hard water is just a couple weeks away.
outdrznd I am getting very anxious to start jigging for those jumbos!!!!!I think I will have to set the house up in the garage and practice the jigging technique. LOL..I still have to achieve bagging my deer before i can ice fish though, I will be needing jerky and sausage while hard water fishing. njsimonson Fished Hobart this weekend, steady action on Saturday and Monday morning, size seems to be smaller, but still a fair share of keepers. Kept 25 keepers on Sat, and caught about 8 keepers on Mon, but released the latter. Great place to take a kid fishing, steady action, and no serious ice experience needed, drop a line, hit the bottom, and bring it up 6 inches, and BAM you're in business. There are less vehicles and less pressure on the ice. Some people were still driving, but I refrain from doing so when I can, and I did. The number of anglers on the lake has dropped as well. Jeff Is the ice at Hobart still in good shape after the warm temperatures? Planning on going Saturday, but don't want to fish for my pickup. Also, is St. Mary's producing any fish of any size? fishinnurse Scott.. directions to Hobart..heading west out of Valley..take the 1st exit..take a right there..you are on old 10 now..Hobart is approx 4-5 mi..it is on the south side of the road..altho i have seen houses at times on the north side too..Hope this helps..Good Luck Scott Where is Hobart Lake from Valley City? fishinnurse I was on Hobart on Monday the 4th.. the bite was slow but caught some nice 12 inchers.. thru back several 10's tho too..took home about a dozen ..I took my 2-year old granddaughter and she wasn't as impressed as I thought she would be.. altho..she says she is ready to go again..we'll see :) Jiffy Had excellent luck on Sat. 26th. We were one of the first ones on the lake and did'nt see the huge town on the east side of the lake. We just got the vex. out and started locating fish everywhere. We were in 13' of water right on the NE corner of the lake about 300 yards from the highway. Ended up catching aprx. 80 fish between the 2 of us and kept 20 all 10" and up. We could'nt even get our second lines in the water until about 10. All in all it was probably the best weekend out there. If there was anybody out there in that big town please write in. Interested to see how it was over there. Good Luck fishinnurse FISHED HOBART FRI 1/18 AND MON 1/21..WE HAD REAL GOOD LUCK..I CAUGHT 4-14IN+ PERCH..WE BROUGHT HOME 40 IN THOSE 2 DAYS..EVERYTHING WAS OVER 10IN..WE MUST HAVE THROWN BACK TWICE THAT MANY SMALLER ONES..FANTATASTIC PERCH ACTION!!! AS MUCH AS I THINK THAT LAKE SHOULD BE FISHED OUT BY NOW, I WILL BE HEADING BACK TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK :) .. >))"> fishinnurse FISHED HOBART FRI 1/18 AND MON 1/21..WE HAD REAL GOOD LUCK..I CAUGHT 4-14IN+ PERCH..WE BROUGHT HOME 40 IN THOSE 2 DAYS..EVERYTHING WAS OVER 10IN..WE MUST HAVE THROWN BACK TWICE THAT MANY SMALLER ONES..FANTATASTIC PERCH ACTION!!!

Kept 9 of the bigger ones. marked quite a lot. 6 year old caught his first fish. I think he really enjoyed himself on the ice. The bobber was busy every minute or two. It was the best Perch action I have enjoyed for quite sometime. Ice was in pretty good shape, somewhere between 16 and 18 inches. Quite a few people fishing today. Maybe try St. Marys Lake just south of Hobart tommorrow. starman Ice condition very good on Hobart Ice should be 18-20 by weekend. My brother fished the lake Tues. he kept 1 for every 3 or 4 he caught. They say the south part of the lake which is south of the interstate has bigger fish. I don't know I have'nt been on that side yet this year. Fish close to the bottom, however every once and awhile I would spot one on the vex that would be 3-5 feet off the bottom and lift up the bait and catch it. Good luck and have a nice day. Jeff Thinking about taking my 6 and 10 year old kids to Hobart on Saturday, January 19th, But worried what that warm temperatures did to the ice. Are people driving all over the lake. A little more cautious with kids and of-course their mother is very nervous about anybody driving on a lake. I fished and drove on Hobart January 6th and there was no problem them. Any info would be great! scottgforks Welcome Starman! Hopefully folks will find this new page. It seems as though Hobart Lake is quite popular? I sure hope we start getting some fishing reports from Hobart.
Starman Fishing has been steady on the Hobart lake. Every once in a while will catch a 13 incher. On average you will throw back 4 or 5 to every keeper you catch. Ice is in good shape and about 16-17 inches thick. Good luck and have a good day. Copyright © 2002 by [Invoman Services]. All rights reserved. |
