Check Duluth Harbor Cam . Scroll down menu to Two Harbors boat launch . Always something going on there.

[Kettle]

A few smaller lakes, 300 acres or less, are open between rapids and Marcell. Even saw a few boats out. Bigger bodies of water are pulled away from shore but probably another week or so before they open up 

[Kettle]

I'll be back up checking things out Wednesday and Thursday and will report again but after that I may not be back up till June  

[smurfy]

Just about right, headed up Sunday morning.

Haven't been out yet. Keeps snowing. Did see several boats trying for panfish on a small weedy bay west of town.

[gunner55]

So nice yesterday that I grabbed my crappie gear & went for a boat ride. No fish but did find surface temps of 54* out on the main lake.

[smurfy]

Well I might just stop by, when's the fish fry. or will it be weiners on the grill!

[merc]

Fish fry should be on whenever we get enough. Forty three years the  same crew have been going and there actually were a couple of years that we had horrible weather and didn't get enough so we always have a backup plan. And yes that plan involves beer and cards. If you  get brave enough to come over to the other side of six stop in. No MGL but Busch Light is always stocked.    

[Kettle]

Although I did not try too hard, I didn't find any crappies in the shallows yet in the area, but the forecast with sun and warmer weather should help. I'll be back up in early June

I didn't run into mayflies but definitely deer flies. I found some nice gills on a submerged grass island in like 8 ft of water. Landed a 9.75 pumpkinseed, beautiful fish. I released all the gills and picked up a few walleye bobber fishing dusk on the edge of a drop off on a different lake.
