Minnesota Fishing Reports : Minnesota Fishing Tournaments : Minnesota Fishing Leagues

Thanks for the article WebDude, good read.   Maybe the Governor should have his fishing opener there

I was there a few times last year chasing those crappies and let me tell you, the walleye population has rebounded like crazy.  The one guy said in the article said Red Lake has recovered, but not FULLY recovered, huh.  That lake it chocked full of walleyes.

We could not keep the walleyes off our hooks!   One day last year our catch ratio was like 1 crappies for every 10 walleye, just nuts.  The thing is that the walleys would bite on anything that you put in the water.  We were actually trying to find something that they wouldn't bit.  Catching walleyes over 22" consistenly, let me tell you, the lake more than fully recovered. 

My hat goes off to the Tribe and the DNR and the Red Lake area to make this happen.  Just imagine that all of our walleye lakes could be like this.

I'm going to say that that area is going to be crazy, it's pretty busy right now at the beginning of the year for people chasing crappies.  I wouldn't mind going up there with my video camera, now that would be fun.  Everyone picture the public landing.....You better not be one of the guys who doesn't know how to back up a trailer, lol.

What about the Northerns? I don't see anything about protecting the Northerns up there.  With more people fishing and using gear that northerns are more likely to bite, they need to protect them to.

Thanks for the article WebDude.
