Rookie LOW fisherman

[luv2fish]

For the last 5 years a group of us have been going to Upper Red Lake on MLK weekend for a getaway. We have 9 guys and 3 wheelhouses. This year a group is pushing hard to head to LOW. I am an owner of one of the wheelhouses, and am a little resistant just because I have never fished LOW. I figured I would ask for recommendations from this group.

Where would you go? We would obviously want a place with plowed roads so we could drive out and set up.

How bad is the snow? Would we have to pay someone to plow out a spot for 3 houses on some fishable structure?

How far out is the bite right now???

Any info that anyone has would be great. Based on recommendations I am going to try to start calling resorts end of this week.

Thanks!

luv2fish: there are numerous access points to LOW. The one I am most famaliar with is at Wheelers Point. The road is maintained by Adrians resort where you would also obtain your road pass. I was there last week and we were approx 6-7 miles into the lake over Pine Island. They have a link at the top of the page and a phone call to them would certainly answer your specific questions. Good luck with your trip, I'm sure you'll enjoy your time up there.

another option is zippel bay they have roads you can drive out on and if you need a spot plowed they will for a small fee sometimes well worth it.I am headed up this weekend to get the house out finally good luck on your planning

I have never fished that body of water before. What resorts will really help a guy find fish? We are willing to pay if someone offers that service.....

Ask at Adrian's when you pay for the pass, they'll let you know.

I'll be going out of there Saturday. Good luck!

I usually go out of Adrians, Doesnt matter where you go out there, Its just like Red Lake, You'll catch fish anywhere. Some spots might be better than others, but you will always snag something no matter where you are. I always fish by the River, It always holds baitfish in the area. There is no night bite like on red, you do have a chance at catching some Saugers as well as some Monster walleyes though.

Thanks all for the info... We decided that my house would actually go up Thursday morning and fish for 14 hours on Red. Then we will meet the rest of the crew on the way to LOW. We are using the road out of Adrian's resort.....

Now, any hot colors on LOW?

GOLD and anything that glows. If you don't get a bite you either jig, jig, jig, or deadstick to the max(take a nap).
