smile :)Just a report on our stay at Bear Paw, EXCELLENT!!! We got up Mon morn and got fishing around 11:30. Steve set us up in a new spot and we got settled in started fishing and picked up one or two right away. Steve showed back up and we asked a few Questions on what and how and he stood there for five minutes and schooled us quick on how to catch fish. Jigging was the answer!! We caught plenty of fish and had a real great time steve and tyler checked on us regularly and brought out more bait thank goodness as we needed it! great couple of days lots of fish great accomadations and will definately be booking with them again, and would reccomend them to anyone looking for great customer service nice houses and comfort knowing you made the right decision by booking with them!! smilesmile

Cant wait to do it again.

Also stopped at Westwinds in the morning before we went home and had a great breakfast and some good coffee. smile

Stayed with them this past Thursday for a 24 hour rental. Arrived about noon, met Steve (super nice guy), took us to our house and got us set up. This house was 10x20, for 3 of us, it was huge, 5 beds (1 bunk) cook top and fans-very nice house. House was just moved to this spot, caught about 20 eyes and 6 perch. Most of the walleye were too big-not a problem, fun catching them. Steve checked on us 2 or 3 times-just an all around super nice guy. Not too much talk about Bearpaw here, but he sure seems to run a great operation, nice houses, takes care of you and has a nice midweek rate. Before we left he made a point to shake our hands and thank us! We didn't want to leave and go to Lake of the Woods for the wknd-but glad we did......see that report under Rainy River/Elkhorn Outfitter's thread!

4 of us stayed in one of their cabins the Wednesday after New Years and we fished 2 ½ days. Steve pointed us in the direction to fish. We caught a lot of fish. Many too big, some to small and many just right. We ate fish for two nights and each brought home a limit. Tyler was out scouting and hit a hot bite and came over to get us to fish by him. Both are very nice guys.

      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
