Hey all-
Sorry if i get a double post in here- i'm new to your forum (and new to the state, as well). Having just moved here from Maryland, i just caught my first northern, and needless to say i'm HOOKED! Just wondering though- the place where i caught this fish (and subsequent largemouth, bluegills, etc.) looks like it would support a trout population. Does it/would it(Pine River below the dam). Inquiring minds need to know... thanks. Good fishin' to ya!

Have to admit, the Pine River does look a bit like a classic trout stream, but unfortunately it doesn't harbor trout. A few browns and rainbows were supposedly stocked in the Whitefish chain of lakes above the dam; though that's been decades ago now. Haven't heard of anyone getting trout (other than lakers in Big Trout Lake) for a long time.

Check Pleasant Lake adjacent to Cross Lake for rainbows. Also the iron mine pit lakes around Deerwood / Cuyuna / Crosby hold lots of rainbows, brookies and a few browns. For stream trout, try Stony Brook above Upper Gull Lake. I'll get you the directions if you need 'em. Let me know. For now, it's off to chase a muskie . . .

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
