Looking for some trip advice.

My dad and I are coming up to Minnesota for an ice camping trip between Jan 31-Feb 4. We have stayed in an ice castle on Mille Lacs the last few years and want to change it up. We have it narrowed down to Leech Lake and Red Lake. We fished Leech in the summer quite a few years ago with some success, but I am curious which lake people would recommend for an ice camping trip. Leech was intriguing for the potential perch bite as well, but I would love to hear some opinions. We are looking at going through a resort, so we can use their ice road access. Thanks for any help!

That time of year can be slow anywhere! Either are decent choices. I'd lean towards leech as Red often gets stale with the extreme pressure

Leech offers perch, crappies, gills, pike, and eyes. Red has some perch, crappies, pike, and eyes. That time of year its a hard call leech is nice because of all the other lakes around including winnie.
