Hi Dave,
I talked to the local DNR chief a few days ago. He said they had been there to check it out but there is to much ice on the river to get started.

You can walk down and watch them take fish from the nets and the will give you a tour of the facility if you ask.

The way the weather has been I wouldn't
expect them to get started, for a few weeks yet.

Definetly ask for a tour, ask lots of questions, these guys know there stuff, really intresting, plus looking at the hogs in the pens, is really cool.

Go down 77 take a right, right after the river.
Guideman is there nieghbor so I'm sure he will post when the run is on.

Hi guys,
I live right across the river from the hatchery and will try to keep you updated on the walleye run.
It should start around the middle of April or maybe a little later.

Brats!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Hope we can do it, well I mean pull it off.
I will figure something out.
Sometime in July would be great.
But feel free to stop by the Island any time, or with in reason!
LOL
Would be fun to have a good old BBQ and shoot the crap.
Nice to put some faces on these handles also.
Time will tell.
Don't forget to get a few buckets of suckers for the smaker Dave.

I saw 2 mature eagles and 3 immature eagles watching the little bit of open water in front of the hatchery and my house yesterday.
Hope that is a good sign that they think some kind of fish will be running soon!
They might be after the golden eyes or megansers that showed up a couple of days ago too.
Goog fishing!! SOON I HOPE!!!!

Hi Gary,
No I haven't seen the osprey yet.
Are you sure that wasn't one of the immature eagles? They kind of look like a HUGE osprey.
They were probably fighting over the crappie
guts I put on the ice for them. They clean them all up in about one hour every time.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      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.

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      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!
