Used to do Forest Lake quite a bit, still do once in a while. You mean Toivo's right ;) :grin:? They must do a pretty good bfast business as I've noticed a pretty full parking lot when we go past in the mornings.  Usually hear 'em do there lunch specials on 99.1 out here too, might have to check 'em out. Is it safe for me to tell em that I know you ?.................. or not? :P

Sure is. Just tell them he's the good looking union thug.

Quite a bit of activity out here yday.  I seen 4 people/ 2 sleds go into the resort pulling an Otter sled. Another group of 3 sleds went into a place on the south side of the bay, along 1 single guy out in the bay fishing for a little while. Looked like some fresh tracks over on Geiger's early too,  it appeared that they kind of tore that up getting off though. Long range forecast has low to mid 40's most of next week, even seen  near 50* for next weekend. That'll be messy!

Talked to one of my members who went north last weekend. Said you don't wanna snowmobile alone in places with no traffic. Get stuck and your in trouble. He also said there's no deer around. His comments where there either dead or hearded up somewhere. Only seen 5 different sets of tracks.

talked to a couple union brethren, said they figure there's a good 18 inches in there yards yet up that way. talked to another guy that talked to a guy from the cass lake area, he said the banks along the roads are still so high critters cant cross the roads.

 

hope things clean up a bit i'm planning on heading that way first weekend in April. hope there is still good safe ice!!

One year we had someone tap some trees on our property. Dallas trail. Wasn't a big deal to me, thought it was cool!

As far as I am concerned you can go anywhere you want!! Just keep an eye on snow depth and ice reports!!!?

 

Just curious, how much syrup you usually get or do?

I'm just helping my friend that does it. Last year was real poor. Just starting to run and have about 65 gallons so far.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
