Pool 2 brother gone.....


Recommended Posts

Travis Renville (Fishnchester) passed away this early Sunday morning. We are still waiting for details, but the family mentioned that his death was a result of a long bout of depression.

As you can tell from these pics-Travis was a heck of a fisherman and was always willing to share his info w/ others.

Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I met and fished with Travis several times at the Minnesota river in the fall of 2002 before I moved *up north*.

The world is less one good person.. my condolances(sp?) are extended to the family.

This is very sad news.
I too had the pleasure of fishing with Travis.He was a nice,gentle person and a very talented fisherman.We had recently talked about getting together to go fishing later in the season.He shared his knowledge of fishing freely with all he met.He will be sincerly missed.
May God meet him at the golden gates Himself.
My prayers go out to his family and freinds.

I never met Travis but he looked like one heck of an angler.
I agree with Dennis and hope god himself meets him at the gates.

It is difficult at best to respond to this news, I never met Travis, but my heartfealt sympathy to his Family and friends. Speaking from experience I know untreated and even sometimes treated Depression is an Illness, that devastes all whose live it touches not just the sufferer's. May he find the peace that he was seeking.

We read the forum posts everyday, and with few exceptions, rarely meet in person our internet friends. I didn't know Travis personally, but I feel thankful to have known him relationally thru FM. The truth is, words just fall short, and even seem like kind of an intrusion in what maybe should be a silent reflective moment, at least for me. I'm sure Travis battled his disease courageously, and that gives me hope when I reach the bumps or mountains in my road.

Really.

May God Bless his family and friends, and bind up their hearts as he carries them through this difficult time.

SERIOUSLY! It was THIS big!

      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!
    • PSU
      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
