Hey, my wife is due April 5th (which means she could pop any day now) but I want to run up to the Rainy River for the spring fishing. Does anyone know if Unicel of Sprint has decent coverage in the Birchdale area? I want to go, but at this point, I'm not ready to miss the birth of my child, even to fish Rainy! wink.gif

On the river might be tough, depends on the model of phone.

I have at times, other times not so good.

Is this your first child?

Well, this is number three, so I'm half way to a limit, right?

Bigmikey,

I do know that Unicel has a tower in Birchdale. It uses CDMA technology, which is what Sprint and Verizon both use. I do not know what the actual coverage is like though as I have never been there personally.

Not the greatest reception and hard to get with sprint. Verizon gets awesome reception in Bicrchdale. My shack is about 2 miles east of Birchdale and when me and a few buddies stay there they have a real hard time getting reception with sprint...

Best wishes I hope all goes well, with both the fishing and the new one on the way!! That has to be exciting.

You definately don't want to be too far away when the time comes. Good luck with new one and on fishing. Hope all goes well either way.

I've had good reception on the river from I falls to Baudette. I have a v262 motorola, unicell. I've never been unable to make a call last 2 years. Brent

your phone will work but you might want an extra power source. Your battries in the phone run down quicker when you are further from the towers.

      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.

      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!

      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!
