Okabena or Round Lake

[LBSPORTSMEN]

that's my default lake... when all else fails, head to Sarah!

[pointerboat]

Why Okebena v.s. Round? Or Why Round v.s. Okabena? They are the same type of lake, pressure? water clearity ? Number of fish? What?

[123fish]

Round Lake traditionally is a better opening day lake than Okabena is for whatever reason who knows. It's not because of pressure because without a doubt there will be a lot more boats on Round than Okabena guaranteed. Right now the DNR nets had shown Round with a lot more fish per net lift than Okabena even though Okabena still had good numbers and probably a better size average also. Kind of like saying why is Sarah traditonally better than Shetek? It just is.

my family buit a cabin on sara back in the early nineties. we ended up moving to duluth when i was in 3rd grade, but i remember fishing on sara for opener and catching nice walleyes...its awesome to see there is still good fishing in the lake, lots of good fishing memories there!

[Eric Wettschreck]

I'll either be trolling for snot rockets on Lime or jigging for eyes on Sarah.

[LBSPORTSMEN]

Do you want the truth? Anything you do on Sarah will get you a nice marble eye! Casting, jiging, trolling, drifting, slip bobbering, but I guarantee you that a Barbie pole, and a Lighting MacQueen pole will catch more than my pole!

[Wadinator]

Thanks for the tip! We just picked up a Lightening McQueen pole for my 4yo son. Better make sure I take it along!

[pointerboat]

I'm going to Loon on a hunch, it's time.

[Moses2531]

I'm wondering and pondering between going to Lac Qui Parle or Shetek... Any suggestions on what may be the better choice this year for opener?
