Remember back in the 80's your lake froze out and the DNR opened it to basically any species. I know some people were out there spearing where there was open holes from the water running back in and the fish would come up for air.

And I know they restocked it back in 1996.

There is still a lot of ice up here, it's getting darker obviously and on some really small bodies of water pulling away from shore but I know they are still running 4 wheelers on larger lakes

There's a lot less in the woods, less than a half foot for sure.  We are supposed to get some Sunday but the weather today helped the snow pack decrease

It's his narrative, guess his story he can stick to it but it doesn't fit regardless how he twists it.

 

And NO  I don't go to Inger!!?

? I thought he said, more than once, that he was born & raised up there so I don't see why he couldn't have some native blood in him. I believe him, not sure what he'd have to gain, just like I believe that you could have some of Jimmy H's blood in you.??

Was up at my shack NE of Effie today. Very little to no snow in the woods. Went to Little American Falls and the Bigfork River is really high. My buddy hauling sap in your neighborhood today Smurf.

I don't doubt him either, but as much as he babbles about the orange Man and doing what needs to be do to get past this, he feels he can go up there because of his blood line??!? He certainly isn't following the recommendation.

Yeah, I know & thought the same as soon as I read his post about going up. Orange man??

Da prez!!! Gonna keep an eye on the weather.  Probably head up the weekend of the 25th 

Posted

Well I'm set and plan to take a leisurely drive the weekend of the 25th. By the looks of Geiger's and narrows cams I'll still have to work around snowbanks. But that's fine, I didn't plan on manicuring the lawn.

      ....and what songs were blasting through those headphones when the laker hit? That might be the key.   For me, I can always get the fish bite to turn on if I dial up the polka!

      Does anyone know if the Pike River is starting to flow over the dam?

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place in a few areas of the lake along the south shore but most resorts and outfitters have pulled their fish houses and called it a good year.  Make sure to call ahead to the resort or outfitter for current conditions if you plan on getting on the ice.  Safety first always.   For those still fishing, some are still targeting walleyes.  There continues to be a good morning / evening bite along the south shore just prior to sunset.  Quality fish are being caught in a number of areas.     Most still ice fishing are targeting trophy pike.  It was another great week with some big fish caught.  Another week of big fish tipping that 40 inch mark with big girths.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt set about a foot under the ice or just off of the bottom have proven effective.   On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing has begun!  The Rainy River is open in many areas and as of Monday, March 31st, there are two boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale and the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) are both clear of ice.  Boats are running the river and the ice pack is deteriorating by the day.   Initial reports for walleyes are very good with some big fish being caught.  Most are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  for minnows, emerald shiners, fatheads and rainbows have all been productive.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  Lots of walleye anglers reporting sturgeon hookups as well.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.     Plan for the MN Fishing Opener which is Saturday, May 10, 2025! The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.
