All this snow is going to make our event a very hard one. Slush is a very good possibilty. Snowmobiles may be the only form of transportation. I dont know if wheelers will get through all this snow.

The drive home was NO FUN tonight, bridge took a bit to get over, got out to Poplar and came into light snow. As of right now it's stacking in my backyard. Looks like my household will get a share of what West Duluth had earlier this evening.

I work in the west end of Duluth and we got about 12 inches..... Drove home to Duluth Hts. and had about 6 inches. Tonight, I took the dog out for a walk in the woods. It was tough going, but a fine winter night.

I got a friend who fished East Bass on Sunday on 4 to 6 inches of ice plus 4 inches of water on top. I don't think Fish got the snow today.

Looks like the 17" West Duluth got is moving south now. I guess Superior got only about 5 or 6" and Fish Lake not much either. Thats very good news for Saturdays gathering.

Hopefully a 4 wheeler will get us around.

It is a good thing we only got around 5" in the Twin Cities last night. If we would have gotten what West Duluth got I would still be on my way home from work. My 30 minute drive took 2 hours and 15 minutes. frown.gif

I have to get my youngest through high school and then up north here I come. grin.gif

Only about 4" in Cloquet last night.....but it did take me 1.5 hours to get from UMD to daycare in Esko last night. Talk about gridlock, I tried every shortcut I could think of and ended up after an hour finding skyline parkway was empty from 24th Ave west to Proctor. Of course there was 14" of unplowed snow on it and whiteout conditions also, thank you 4WD grin.gif

I crossed over skyline at Hwy 2, and came face to face with a semi that had tried to leave the thompson hill rest area and jacknifed, his cab was sideways up against the fence, and his trailer was all the way across the road and up the rest area road. Luckily I was able to drive thru the snowbank and around him up to the rest area and down the other side to reach I-35.

From UMD to skyline/Hwy 53 was an hour, from skyline to Esko was 30 minutes.

Good to hear that Fish only got about 4", hope that slush frezes down. Will have the sled out with Junior tomorrow to play in the fluff a bit.

I work in Duluth and live in Cloquet and it took me 2 hours to get from 21 ave E. to cloquet. Worst gridlock I've ever seen in Duluth. Nasty.

minnowdangler, post your inquiry over on the Lake Vermilion board, too, if there's not already info on snow posted there.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
