Reed's Sporting Goodings in Garrison?

Recommended Posts

I heard a rumor going around about Reed's setting up shop in Garrison or Onamia this spring?

Anybody else heard that?

I have heard, but only heard, they are taking over Moleens Bait at the intersection of 169 and 47. I believe it is only going to be a tackle shop, no guns.

Here's my heard: they are building a new place that will only have fishing stuff for the first year.

Good to know. Thanks. They should do okay there. That will be a pain for traffic though. Should be interesting.

Good! I hope they do. They are a great store to shop. It will be nice to have them in my back yard.

construstion has been underway for over a week now. they were looking at the meleen's site, but that fell through as they could not get all the variances that tey needed to build what they wanted. i was at the variance meeting that night as my neighbor had applied for a variance that i needed questions answered. the site that they ended up buying was the lot between the DQ and the used car lot just south of meleen's. word is, they want to be open by the fishing opener. at this point, they might make it, they worked last weekend...........tom fellegy

Nice to have another outdoor store option. At leaset it's not another "Super Store" sending our hard earned money out of state. Good luck and don't forget about the retailers who have been around for years.

Are they going to have bait too? I like stopping at Lundeen's but parking can get tight there.

Drove by there on Sunday and was wondering what that was.

Last i had heard was the site of Lundeens. In fact when i was in lundeens in December for bait, they told me they were only open until the end of February. Wonder what the competition will do to the existing businesses?

I agree. I love the location, but traffic will certainly be an issue. I've seen the aftermath of too many serious accidents in that area.

      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
