my brother is currently up at the cabin, yesterday he sent me a very disturbing picture, 2 actually. i'm pretty sad about this. we've had an eagles nest on the point by the cabin for years. i've watched alot of young eagles get raised there.

 

well the tree subcombed to mother nature the way it looks. pictures he sent me shows the tree the nest is in snapped off and the nest laying on the ground.  this really bums me out........sure hope they stick around and find another tree to call home on the lake!!!!!!!!!

Who's property is it? I've seen a few places where the DNR or someone put up poles with a platform on it for Eagles when their nesting tree's finally rotted out.

the property the nest sits on is owned by the state of minnesota according to the Itasca county GIS mapping.

 

i'm not real confident the DNR will do anything after my experience with the fisheries people up in grand rapids the past 2 years.?? my attitude with the DNR has changed since then, and its not for the better.

 

however you did give me an idea, thanks Leech! ?  i happen to know one of the wardens in the area, i'll have to stop and talk to him.

well i did stop and talk to the warden. he was going to email the non-game people to see what they have to say!!!!!!!!

 

bugs werent real bad either up there. got back yesterday after a week. fishing was pretty good for the most part.  had some major wind and somehow a tree missed our shed and a steel bin. not sure how, but it fell between the 2 and there is like 6-8 feet that seperate them. lots of trees snapped off or are uprooted,

Tree the nest was in.

      ....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.
