Just wondering if anyone might have seen our dog around the Brainerd area. He took off Monday at about 2PM when Camp Ripley started dropping bombs. Shook the whole house. We live just south of Brainerd off Business 371 and St. Mathias Road area in the new Lone Oak Rd development. His name is Thorsy and he is a Catahoula. Greyish/Brown in color with lots of black spots. About the size of a small lab. He is wearing a blaze orange collar. Sure miss him and my wife is a mess.

Really sorry to hear ! I know how it feels to be missing your pet. Hope he shakes it off and gets home soon ! We were in Nisswa weekend before last, we could hear the noise way up there.

Good Luck !

I just wanted to thank Trent (Meat-Run) for the tip on my dogs whereabouts. I found him right where you spotted him. I called the highway dept. and they told me that they just drug him off the road and into the woods. I went there again and there he was. No more sleepless nights worrying about him. No more leaving my truck doors open in the driveway through the night hoping that he will find his way home. Now we can begin the grieving process. Trent, if you wouldn't have contacted me, I don't think he would have ever been found. Now I can at least give him a proper burial. Again, thank you. I just got back from burying him at the hunting shack up north in Effie. He is there right next to all the other dogs in the family that have come and gone over the last 25 years. I would say that it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I still can't believe it, in 3 years he has never went more than 100 feet from the house. Monday however, he managed to make it about a mile and half from the house. Anlger Don, I also want to thank you for your kind words. I just wish I had a happier ending.

Wholetee,

My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm sorry this has happened and I hope you or anybody else doesn't have to go threw this. I'm just glad that I was able to give you closure but am still sorry for not checking for a name tag that night.

I am truly sorry!!!

Really sorry to hear about your dog. I know it would be pretty hard on our family if something happened to our dog, so I really feel for ya. But it is good to have some closure.

      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
