I'm planning on a trip to the Red in North Dakota or MN (closer to canada border).
Catfish Haven is wanting to charge $40 a head/ night which is WAY too much for a fishing trip for a family of 6-8.

Is there another location or resort that is more reasonable and provides cabin style accomodations for 6-8 people?

Also... I've heard water levels are high and possibly at flood stage... is this true?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep that is a good rate. The water is a bit high but the cats are eating good.

I dont think you guys are following me here:
$40 per person, per night, no matter what age.
There would only be 4 addults and 2 kids and 1 infant.

They are wanting $40 for the kids and infants also.

That's almost $300 per night.
Which is outrageous.

Thats very high in my book. I just called the Holiday in Grand Forks and got a rate of 50 to 55 per night for a room for four. Now maybe its cheap because they don't have their pool working until Sept. But if you up for fishing who cares. From 40 per head and $320.00 toptal per night in a cabin to$50.00 per night for four. I would have no problem driving for that much savings. Just my thought. Good luck and let us know what you plan on doing and how your trip went.

River was high and is going down very nive. It is back in side its banks and is in fishing condition.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing is in full swing on the south shore of Lake of the Woods, with resorts and outfitters continuing to report solid ice conditions. A colder weather pattern is expected over the next couple of weeks, which will further strengthen ice and ensure safe and productive fishing. Many resorts have sleeper fish houses on the ice, offering anglers the chance to spend extended time fishing in comfort. Most fishing activity is happening in 24-30 feet of water, where anglers are reporting steady action. While some sorting is required to find keeper-sized fish, buckets are being filled with quality walleyes and saugers. Jumbo perch, northern pike, and large eelpout are also adding excitement to the mix, with a few sturgeon showing up to surprise anglers as well.   Anglers are using the one-two punch of jigging in one hole and deadsticking the second hole.  In the jigging hole, your favorite jigging spoon in gold, glow red, glow white, pink, chartreuse or a combo of these colors.  Rattles can help as well in the stained water.   On the deadstick, a small jig with a live minnow hooked behind the dorsal fin set 6 inches - a foot off of the bottom is working well. Although every ice road is different, many are now allowing mid-sized vehicles as ice thickness improves. Be sure to check with your ice road operator for specific conditions and weight limits to ensure a safe outing. On the Rainy River...  The Rainy River continues to produce great results for those heading out. Anglers are catching good numbers of walleyes and saugers, with several nice-sized sturgeon showing up nicely for those angling for them. However, caution remains crucial on the river, as ice conditions can vary significantly due to the current. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing has been excellent, offering a thrilling battle for anglers seeking a unique challenge. To stay safe and maximize success, always work with a local resort or outfitter familiar with river conditions. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing going strong up at the Northwest Angle.  Resorts have fish houses out with anglers already enjoying excellent success. The NW Angle is delivering its usual consistent fishing, with a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, jumbo perch, and pike being caught. Resorts and outfitters in the area are working hard to ensure safe ice conditions, with marked trails and ready-to-fish houses set up for a seamless experience.  Check with your favorite NW Angle resort for details. Good news for snowmobilers: the snowmobile trail from the south end of the lake across the ice to the Northwest Angle is staked and open!  Scratchers are recommended with some melting snow last week. Happy Holidays from Lake of the Woods Tourism! Tight lines and safe fishing!

      @smurfy those deer river workers are union workers, Im a scab working further north. We gave our nurses like a 16%-19% raise this year. They're not union, they're kind, they're good and we appreciate them and take care of them, they've never felt the need to unionize

      Burning time is really the only answer, like you said, unless it’s a calculated way to keep viewers tuned in and jacked up.     Too clinical.  But I’m no football fanatic.  I say, if you got the horsepower, keep the hammer down.  Dan Campbell seems to play that way.  4th and goal; go for the touchdown and get it over 50% the time.  Net +1 point for every 2 tries instead of settling for field goals.   We’ve seen the Vikes lose to too many “Prevent” scenarios in the past.  Thankfully it’s been in their favor lately, under O’Connell.  I cringe, waiting to see that bubble burst again.

      Great question.  There's 32 defensive coordinators in the league to ask.  You let me know when you find out!
