elk river Cambridge-Elk River-Foley-Milaca-Mora Fishing Reports

[monstermoose78]

Walleyes are biting on the rum it's the best walleye bite in the area. 

Ducks are starting to show up

my old man called in some bucks but did not get a shot. A friend watched buck breed a doe. 

Grouse and pheasant north and east the better it gets. 

Please watch for deer ticks!! They are bad!!!! I know as I am reporting I have been stuck in bed for a few days because of them. I missed a tiny one that packed a punch the doc wants me to take it easy until next week.

I'm so paranoid about that! Given that I ache and am tired most of the time anyway, due to advanced years, how will I know the difference if I get Lymes?

I don't know

[monstermoose78]

Hearing little elk for crappies and pike

Could anyone tell me how ice conditions are in the Cambridge area?

[monstermoose78]

I am not saying the ice is safe! Most lakes have 15 to 19 inches around Princeton which is 20 miles west 

[SSGMonte]

about a 2 weeks ago I was on a small lake on east side of Cambridge and it had about 7-9 inches

[Rube]

I was on Skogman not to long ago and there was a good 15".

How is the fishing!!

[monstermoose78]

Anyone been out around there area?

[Brandon Klatt]

Went up to Shakopee lake today, heard the bluegills were hitting good. I've never fished this lake before so i was pleasantly surprised that right where i sat up I had consistent action the whole time. Lots of good eater 7-7.5in bluegills with thick backs and a few 8+ ones mixed in too keep the excitement going. Biggest gill topped out at 9 1/4in, threw the big girl back, can't catch 10+in gills if you keep all the 9's. 

[gimruis]

That lake has been OVER RUN with small pike the last few years.   They did some construction on the Rum near Vineland Bay and took out Buckmore Dam in the state park and it significantly affected the flow/water levels through the area.  I used to catch a lot of nice largemouth bass out there and now its about 40 pike instead, one snake after the other.
