Things to do and see in Waskish area? Trails?


BLACKJACK

Recommended Posts

Going to be camping at Rogers over the Memorial Day weekend, looking for some things
to do with the wife in between fishing or on
big wind days when we get blown off the lake (not worried about rainy days - thats tent
time smile.gif ).

Any ideas on interesting places
to see, any trails to hike? Was out to the URL website, they mentioned the proposed Big Bog state park, any trails developed yet? Any good birdwatching spots?

Any ideas would be appreciated. Looks like the fishing is picking up, getting pumped!!

Blackjack, excellent question for this section. I'd like to come up that way too sometimes but get the old "what's there to do up there besides fishing?" from the wife.

Any antique stores? Museums?

Don't forget the rock quarry. If it's nice, you could take her skinny dippin'!

The only other thing is to let her off north of the lake and have her walk through the swamp all the way to Baudette.

That'll take a while.

Guess by all of these type replies you get the message. Best she likes to fish.!!

Oh, Anderson Fabrics in Blackduck used to offer tours of their facility...very interesting place.

BLACKJACK,
Check out the Shopping in Waskish Topic.
When you say rainy days are "tent days" that mean we should all come visit? smile.gif
If you ride ATV's there are a lot of places to ride.
For hiking 3 miles south of Waskish and just NE of the #72 and County 110 junction is high ground with a lot of small roads/trails to walk.
Check out the eagle nest across from Dad's driveway. The other day I thought I saw one of the little ones head as it was being fed but I am not sure.
If NINETOE is up it's fun to stop by his place about 8-9 in the morning and make a lot of noise. You'll get to hear a lot moaning and groaning if you can get him to start to wake up. grin.gif

Thanks for the replies guys. Kelly, I decided we're camping in a different spot because I'm counting on some 'rain' time!!! smile.gif Jiggle, thats an idea, but we're not the party animals that we used to be. Now I knew that I could get her drunk and horny, it would be an idea, but I'm afraid she'd just go to sleep on me.

Boat is hitched up, as soon as I get thru this little thing called work, we're on the road. I'm psyched! Crappie heaven, here we come!

      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
