Weekend Mischief (TR)

Awesome stories as always. Nice to see some drum. Can't wait til the river drops so I can go hit my drum circle.

I almost hit a hawk the other day driving. Came so close to hitting my windshield I could identify the garter snake that was wiggling in his deadly grasp.

I like when ma nature does the neat artsy contrast for me. Who needs processing?

Before it had started to rain, I saw a little cow prancing around, thought it'd make a good pic. It was not until I got home that I realized how new this little cow was.

The next morning I met up with Ted for a little musky hunt. The wind was strong and kept us in a bay most of the day... tough fishing for sure. We caught a lot of little musky food, but no toothy critters. Sad. Anyway... I did go back the next weekend when it was not so windy, just a disclaimer this TR contains pics of both trips to the same place.

Meetin up at camp ted

short jaunt through bear porcupine elk land (None of which cooperated for picture time) and we were there. Looks like a nice little spot. Quiet, I like that.

These flies are just plain neat.

No muskies though. Called it a day and headed back to el cabino to hang with the fam for a little.

Some folks read the paper while drinking their morning coffee. Some do crosswords.

Here's my idea.

Reasons I have converted to barbless hooks for all species.

Ahh, the joys of Volkswagen ownership. I've been there. IT wasn't as bad as your experience, but it was definitely annoying.

Walleyes must be up looking for mayflies on your lake. It's about that time of year.

Yep, hex hatch has been goin on the past few weeks up there. Walleye on a 3wt was kinda funny though.

the bugs have been pretty thick once that sun sets. Nice dry fly action after dark, can't really complain smile

I think I am going to hit up the old carp spot this evenin though with the yak. Just too nice of a night to do anything else.

      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
