I'm wondering how many of you guys will be trout fishing this weekend at the Courthouse pond in Chaska? I have to watch the Packer game Sunday, but might give it a try after.
good luck!

Im ready...Been waiting along time for this Saturday...Love them Rainbows and Brookies thru the ice.....But then all of a sudden this warm weather comes...I have been watching the ice very closley this week on Ceinenko Lake (another Metro Trout lake) and it is very ify....It is 1 inch or less in some places around the shore there...Not sure about farther up on the ice but the edges are erroding away quickly. And last year it was very wet out there with the big crowds on opening day, even on Good Ice...... May be safer to wait another week for colder temps to firm up the Ice again.

I live in Waconia and have not heard of the trout pond over in Chaska... Is it the small pond in town that has the fountain going in the summer?

The pond is behind the courthouse/Gov. center in Chaska. they stock it with trout, never fished it in the winter, but the action is pretty fast in the spring. I'm going to drive past it tonight and check the ice conditions, but I don't have a computer at home, so I can't report back till Monday.

I DIDN'T FISH IT TODAY BUT I DROVE UP THERE AROUND NOON TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAY IT WAS A GOOD BITE EARLY IN A.M. BUT SLACKED OFF AFTER SUNRISE. IT WASN'T REAL BUSY EITHER AND I SAW 3 TROUT CAUGHT WHILE I WAS STANDING THERE. I DIDN'T HEAR OF ANY LARGE FISH TAKEN BUT THE ONES IN THERE ARE FRESH FROM LANESBORO.
I'M GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT IN THE MORNING.
NICE ICE!

WELL THIS MORNING WAS THE DEAD SEA! WHAT A DIFFERANCE A DAY MAKES.
I SAW JUST A FEW FISH CAUGHT AND EVERYBODY SAID IT WAS NOTHING LIKE YESTERDAY. OH WELL, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE WEEK.
NICE ICE!

It was slow, but I did pull a few out on Sat morning. I released my fish, but every one I caught, and the ones I saw were all the same size... 12-13". I think I'll let things settle down and try it again. It was fun to see trout come through the hole.

      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!

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.
