everywhere on the shore today temps ranged from 36 to 37 degrees and i checked out most rivers all the way from the lester to silver creek. still too cold for active fish, although most rivers had a few of em in there.

I heard 37 too and that is up from 34 on sat so they are starting to warm a little bit. It doesn't look like rain is in the forecast anytime soon but the temps do look to be heading up so maybe they will start here sooner rather than later. I spent about an hour at the Lester and talked to some people but it looked like nothing at all was going on. The river is still pretty milky but is starting to clear. Also is probably a couple feet down from where it crested right after those big rains. I still think prolly one more week til we start seeing a fair number of active fish....but I guess only time will tell.

There's still a lot of ice and snow laying around, so warm weather just creates cold runoff, and the rivers don't warm that much. I think it'll be a little while yet before it really gets hot. Having said that, I'll still be on the water pretty much everyday waiting... Can't catch 'em from home. grin.gif

Well, for the heck of it I measured the temp on the creek @ my house. (3-4 miles due north of Superior) and it was 32-33 deg. So, unless the ground warms a little I would assume temps will stay down.

Don't worry Dan, I haven't heard any other reports that good yet this year or had similar success yet on the north shore this spring. My favorite river was still 36-38 degrees today and the majority of the fish have not run yet and the ones in the river are still quite sluggish. I think a couple more days like today and we'll start seeing quite a few fish entering the rivers each night for a while.

I'll second that. Fish should start moving in decent numbers after some more warm weather, but there's still lots of ice around on the shores and the water temps won't get too high until that's gone. It doesn't look like the run will be nearing its peak for a little while yet. There should be some real decent fishing by the time you arrive.

Stop you're killing me. 4 days and a wake up!!! Just hope they can deal with me talking in my sleep about getting spooled by a 30lb steelhead haha!

Thanks for the reports guys! I am looking forward to this trip more then you know. Sounds sick too considering our salmon runs are just about to kick off here. Salt fishing is only going to get better and early june the kings start running in fresh water. There's salmon all the way till ice up! That's not including the hunting season thrown in for good measure. Afterall a fella can't live on fish alone. cool.gif

I was at the lester yesterday and there were some fish but it definetely was not fast and furious. I seen 4 fish and 3 of them were Steelies and one was a hen of about 8 pounds. I did hook one fish and it was definetely a nice one but it came unbuttoned after a couple minutes. Stopped at the sucker later and there was absolutlely nothing happening there while I was there.

Sure was nice to get out tho. I got a feeling it will be another good year, but it is still a week or so a way from good fishing. We need some warm rain to flush out that snow melt water.

I came up and fished Sat AM and Sun AM. I only took the water temp on Sunday early morning and it was 35 degrees. Three of us on Saturday morning hooked 12 fish, landed 4, most we actually caught were loopers with one being a clipped steelie, which we released. Went to the same spot Sunday morning and we hooked 5 and landed 3 loopers. Most people didn't catch anything, actually hardly saw any others even hooked. We just got lucky and hit a good spot, the fish were all hooked behind one rock, we just took turns making drifts through it.

Fishing should only get better this week.

I'll be early on Friday morning, can't wait. Good luck.

      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!
    • PSU
      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
