Who can tell me anything about Brewer Lake just NW of Fargo? Is there an access for a small boat on it? What fish does it hold? Any hot tips regarding it?

Scoot,

Brewer has a really nice concrete ramp that should work for most any size boat, there is usually a dock there as well. As for species, walleye, trout, bluegill and crappie, maybe LM bass, but not certain on that. From what I have heard the action there is generally slow, but there are a few times during the year you can do all right.

By the way, I received some information on a good bluegill bite that is a bit Southwest of us, any chance your up for a day trip during the week next week? Shoot me an e-mail.

been to brewer a couple times, it was a hottie for Largemouth Bass a few years back but when I went there last year I was dissapointed, it almost seemed as if it winter killed.
I have heard over on fishingbudddy that brewer is pickin up again.
The ramp is long and a steep back down but isnt too bad and you probably could get a 16 in there but a 17 might be tough. I have never had any problems with my 14
Im thinkin I should take the fly rod down there and see what happens.

Hey Snowman,

I have to admit that I'm not particularly interested in a bluegill trip. Never gotten too excited about them for some reason.
If, however, you're interested in a cattin' outting- that's a different deal. Give me a call if you want to go. I won't be able to go until after Sun, but next week looks good.

I haven't been to Brewer this year. It's not the best lake for big fish. Lot's of panfish and some walleyes. It's has a nice area to camp out at and the price is resonable, FREE. I've been there a number of time with the kids. Great place for kids to learn. If you fish "eyes", go straight out from the fishing dock. We use to fish there before they put the dock in. Would cast leeches out as far as you could and let them sit on the bottom. You can go up to the dam and fish deep for perch. Check out the

You need that acrobate reader 5.0 also. It really is a nice place the ramp is easy, go to the far side by the fishing dock, not by the swim beach. I like to go up there when the temp hits 90 plus in town. There's usually a cool breeze and it's only 30 miles away. It's a good place to catch a fish and connect with the family. Boy did that sound sappy. StM

      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
