I will be up there in two weeks to stay for 2 nights. It's good to know the night bite is picking up. Then again there was a full moon this weekend. Steady action with the walleyes; or was it one or two fish an hour?

We were just down the road from you in the garage door house. We ended up with a pail full of fish, but they would come 1 every hour or 2. The pail of fish contained a mix of everything. Walleye (12-14 of them / kept 6), Perch (6), Pike (4) & Crappie (1) came to visit. I know it sounds like a broken record, but the Minnow Station houses with Kelly & Jonny are the best. My Dad & I had a great time. Whoever plops down in the spot we were in, I hope you catch whatever was taking our green glow jigs. It was probably a big Pike, but we will never get to see for sure. I'd like the garage door house on our next trip please grin

I have some really cool pix of the full moon setting on Sat morning. The moon was the shape of a football due to the vision tricks Red Lake plays on anything on the horizon. The super hillmans highway was looking a bit strange on Sat also. I can e-mail them to anyone willing to post the pix. I've tried several times to put up pix, but for whatever reason it never works.

The only complaint I have is that I don't live closer.

We moved that house today, hopefuly to better action. You guys fished hard and I was hoping for better crappie action.

Yes he is the one, good thing it was not one of Kelly or Jonny's houses! He said he was going to be GOOD this year, we will see. Is he in your house? No sleeping bags needed in my basement, but you better bring them for the fish houses.

I was up this past weekend for the first time ever on URL. It was a lot of fun. We stayed in a 5 man sleeper and we were the "slow" group.

We didn't do too bad. Probably caught around 30 walleyes, 1 crappie, 1 perch, and a 33-34" northern. No consistent bite or time. The only thing we noticed is that the fish did not respond to jigging at all. Every fish pulled out of the water was caught on a dead stick. The dead stick thing was a little disappointing, it's much more enjoyable when you can attack them with jiggin'.

Although, I had hoped for a better bite, I hope to get back up there again and I enjoyed the experience. Thanks for the hard work guys!

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      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
