how far is red from leech lake

I'd guess that it takes an hour and a half to get to Red from the south end of Leech.

Jiggle...It only seems like more than an hour and a half for you...The extra time it takes you, is time spent in the URL triangle! grin.gif Did you get the jiggle (wiggle) auger taken care of? Only a couple more weeks till you can start the "shakes". You goin out with the orange army this weekend? Give me a call...we need to stop in the "office" one more time to get warmed up for the W.W.. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, only a couple more jobs to complete,so should be available depending on your schedule. Give a call...Ken

I mileaged it to Leech the other day from here (Blackduck) and it was 40 miles to Walker. From here to WW it's 30-35 miles, but that's a quicker drive with nothing imbetween...that URL triangle just sucks you right in and pulls you there pretty quick grin.gif

And the triangle: When it sucks you in, does it deposit you 75 years later at the same age you were when you found it? Does is suck up your Fish Trap, Chevy, Strikemaster and puke them out at the W.W.?

Wouldn't that be a hoot? KellyP goes out on the ice in that old red pickup, loses his bearings, and comes back in the 22nd century. The W.W. is still there, and his tab is still at $400, and there still are people around who remember the legend of Kelly. grin.gif

stfcatfish,
You are full of bad news again. You're suggesting that this is the 21st century. You are so silly! :-) A bunch of us headed out there centuries ago, are we still there?? If you are correct this is all a figment of our imagination. This crappie thing never happened!!!!! shocked.gif
If that is the case I hope none of us ever wakes up and this continues in our dreams. smile.gif
In all due honesty it is the night before deer season. My little girl is back for opening day once again. About 10 years ago she quit being my little girl and became one of my best friends but I refuse to admit to myself how many years have passed by. To me she is always gonna be the little girl that needs help lacing her boots in the morning.
After an evening and early morning retelling all the good and bad stories of the years gone by we have come to the realization that all the big bucks we have taken were after 10:30 in the morning and there has not been one taken at first light. So opening day for us will start at 10:30 as that is when we have had our best luck. We might not be there at first light when a nice buck passes by but we'll have a good time at 10:30. One of these years we will have to try this first light thing but why waste a fun day by getting up too early??

Kelly, I hear you. My girls are 14 and 12, and live with their mother, and every time I see them they look so much older. And I suppose I do, too. We're supposed to be wiser with age, but I don't see much evidence of that. grin.gif

And if you're in the triangle, you've got the company of thousands of others from the URL city on the ice.

Have fun with your best friend. cool.gif For me, deer season will be with the rellies outside LaCrosse on Thanksgiving weekend.

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
