Cenaiko stocking?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if the DNR stocks Cenaiko during the summer like they do to start the winter trout season?

A little off the subject but, Haad, what would you try to use for a fly or nymph when fishing Ceniko. I river fish, but haven't really tried lakes and Ceniko is close to my house

Great news! I'll hafta head out there and see what I can hook into if they're not all gone by now. There's some decent smallies in there that I'm sure have gone after some fingerlings.

Cenaiko gets hit hard, the 1st few weeks of the season, summer and winter! Once the bite drops off, the crowds drop off, then it is a little more interesting...less fish, but more satisfiying when you get one, because you have to work for them. Sometimes, the ones that are left will surprise you and go on a binge and even after all the pressure, you can still bag afew. Sometimes the DNR stocks it more then once.

They did stock Cenaiko with 2,000 rainbows in April of this year.

that sucks that they only stocked 2000 rainbows this spring, no wonder the fishing has been so slow, they usually put in 3,000. I wouldent waste your time fly fishing ceineko, you wont catch anything, the only time you could get fish is casting a dry fly off the dock in the evning. They will feed on bugs in the evning sometimes, usually before a storm.

Well, I don't fly fish so I'm throwing little things out that slowly sink that I hope interest them. Haven't made it out yet. I'll need to get out there this week sometime.

This lake can be very slow once it's been hit hard for awhile after stocking.


P.S. Don't forget the trout stamp. Lehmann's Bait is just down the road toward Anoka on Coon Rapids Blvd (Main St in Anoka). They can give you ideas on how to fish and you can get a license there. Very nice people. Though you can't fish live bait on Cenaiko, they have about the cheapest bait I've seen in years. I was just there ($1.50 for a huge scoop of crappie minnows, $2.00 for a huge fathead scoop, and crawlers were $2.25 I think for a dozen). They are open 24 hrs. After hours is an "on your honor" system. Just thought I'd give a good bait store a plug.

rjj15,
Lakes can be harder to flyfish for trout. I've done it in Colorado with some decent success throwing scuds and other nymphs. The Pass Lake streamer is a fly that works well up north, even in the rivers. Of course there's other species to go after when flyfishing, like carp, bass, northerns, etc. I got four carp Friday afternoon, and lost several others. If it's trout you are after, I'd recommend hitting the rivers sometime soon, they are fishing awesome right now. Haaad

      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
