We stayed at Fred's Beds from Dec. 22-24th. Very comfortable and clean houses. Nels had us on the fish and really took care of us. Got our limit each day with bigger fish (16"-19")on Sat. before the cold front moved in. Monday morning it was -14 degrees with colder temps in the forecast for tonight. Nels told us they will probably open up their road to cars and trucks this week. There was only about 4"-6" of snow on the ice where we were at and about 13+" of ice when we measured on Sat. before the cold weather moved in. It must be 15"-17" by now with the cold weather we had Sunday and Monday.

DLD24,

Make sure you bring everything from soup to nuts with you. It's like camping on the ice. There is a big wall furnace, 2-burner stove and a clean biffy/with tp and bunk beds, gas lights and that's about it. So plan on bringing all your cooking and eating utensils, pots and pans etc. plus your drinking water and sleeping bags. We had our Honda generator with us with some extension cords and a trouble light for light in the biffy which came in handy. Then we could listen to the radio, use our small electric appliances and charge up our phones. Have a good trip.

      This spring I saw a lot of grouse and even a few broods. I'm hopeful for the upland season. Didn't see a whole lot of mallard ducklings this year but good numbers of wood ducks. I think the Canada geese numbers go up every year.

      My uncle and dad said they aren’t seeing any young birds and not many up north. Bummer Hazel is ready and Finn wants some ducks .

      Just got back from my annual 3 day fishing trip to my brother's cabin.  My dad, brother, nephew and I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday fishing 4 lakes.(Evergreen,  Grace, Plantaganet and Cass.)  Caught lots of sunfish, crappie,  perch and a couple walleye.  Perch on Cass were 10-12 inches. Crappie were mostly 10 to 11. Some 12's.  Sunfish ran 8-9 inches.  Walleye was tough but managed a 14, 15 and 17. My brother and nephew did better than my dad and I. They have much better quality rods and could feel the bites much better, plus they used gulp vs our live bait mostly. They did better using 3 inch gulp than smaller ones as well. I'm definitely investing in a new quality rod. Plus I need to get more confidence on plastic.  Overall a very good trip.

      Fall lake has nobody there and yes you have to use portage wheels to get across. At prairie portage you don't cross the border, so you don't have to go through customs. However right next to prairie portage there is a Canadian customs building if you wanted to enter into Canada. I don't know anything about it other than it is there.

      Grouse season is right around the corner, my Italian 20-gauge SxS sidelock is still available for trade. 25" barrels, ejectors, single selective trigger, great early season grouse thumper, and in excellent condition for a fifty-year-old gun.   Jim

      I was thinking of the fall lake portage,  isn't there someone there too?    Or is it just portage wheels to get boat across? And if you go at prairie portage, isn't that a border crossing, so customs and all that?   I love Quetico BTW
