Upper Red Report

3-1-10

 

The walleye fishing on Upper Red during the month of February was fair to slow for most of the month. The numbers gradually got better towards the end of the season. Most people caught enough for a fish fry or two and also took home a few.

The big pike action was pretty consistent throughout February. Quite a few fish in the 36-42 inch range were caught and released.

Some nice perch were also taken but not in any big numbers.

The crappie bite in my area was pretty quiet most of the winter. One or two would show up once in a while, but that was about it. Sounds like the North Shore is starting to kick out some better numbers if you are willing to drill a bunch of holes and dial in on them. Usually there are a couple areas near the reservation line that produce some decent numbers of crappies this time of year, but they never materialized this year.

Hope everyone that stayed with me this ice season had a decent time and enjoyed their stay on Red Lake. Hope to see you again next year!

If anyone is interested, I will be running a couple houses down on Cass Lake for some late ice Perch fishing. Cass has a very good perch population, with many in the 10-12 inch range. Give me a call or e-mail if you would like more details.

Take care……Chad
