LAST WEEK'S REPORT

(Grand Forks) (Duluth) Red Lake Fishing Report: 1-25-08 Our roads are looking great this year!    The lake has been free of ice heaves on our end this year, so we haven’t had to construct any bridges.  And with the exception of one small ridge about ¼ mile out from our access, we’ve got nothing but smooth roads to drive on.  We just widened our access this week. So now there’s no waiting. You can get on the lake even when someone else is trying to leave.    We couldn’t help but overhear some people complaining about having to drive 6 to 9 miles across Red Lake to get to Center Bar.  Our Access is located just 5.4 miles away from Center Bar and we're connected to it by good plowed roads. There’s nobody closer to Center Bar on Red Lake. Since we’re talking about distances, when you take the back roads, our access is about 30 miles less when driving north from Bemidji.    The walleye fishing was slower yesterday. The big cold front that pushed through here was probably the culprit. While the walleyes didn’t like the cold front, the big pike didn’t seem to mind. We had several houses report catching really nice pike. The extended forecast calls for warmer temperatures on the Lake by this weekend, so we should see the walleye bite pick back up again real soon.  The crappies have been spotty. We’ve only been seeing a few crappies being caught here and there.   Take Care!
