Look at the 9lb 7oz walleye caught this morning by Ed Kuriscak. Others in his party did well this morning also. Another group said yesterday was quiet but they all were able to pull in their limit. Water temp today was at 53 degrees.

River temp was 57.1 today. Wind kept water rough and choppy today and temps were cool. With shiners running now the bite will improve rapidly. Anglers are having best luck with bubble gum color jigs with shiners. Fatheads have also produced. With the soft bite stinger hooks have been working well.

The much needed rain we got over the weekend cooled the river temp down to around 57 degrees at last check. However it has cooled the bite as well. Despite the slow morning, anglers Neal and Kevin managed to pull in a 9lb walleye! This evening was more active pulling in 3 nice size saugers and 2 keeper walleyes, one of which was just under 17". The bite will pick up and we'll be sure to post it!

Weather has been much cooler this week which has helped the temperature of the river cool. Today it was 61 degrees. Fishing on the river is been good, however yesterday high winds kept the fishing a little slower. We heard the Lake was very rough. Anglers came in from the Lake and launched down at Vidas yesterday where it was more manageable. Today was a beauitiful fall day.We've still been seeing a wide variety of fish being brought in and the shiners can be seen in the water from the boat.

Kevin reeled in this 64" sturgeon near Vidas landing. The fish weighed approximately 90lbs! Kevin's girlfriend also reeled in a nice one shown on the Brag Board.
It's raining today and is expected to rain all day. A big change in the temperature is expected tomorrow with highs in the 50"s. With the temperatures staying low this week we can expect the water temp to fall.

Now open through winter!

Shown here is one of our new icehouses that will be available this coming icefishing season. All icehouses are insulated and heated with new wall furnaces. We are now taking reservations for this winter season. Snowmobilers are also welcome to stay and take advantage of the many trails in our area. Call us anytime for reservations or questions. More information will be posted the closer we get to the new season. In the meantime water temp is slowly cooling. Current reading is 66 degrees. Sturgeon are still biting strong but walleye are quickly taking over. Last night a neighbor just made the slot size with a 19.5" walleye. We pulled in one sturgeon and a couple smaller walleye and a sauger.

Phil, Brett, Jim, Jack, Maynard and Casey were nice enough to let me tag along yesterday on a fishing trip on Lake of the Woods. I got allot of great pictures you can see on the brag board. The biggest catch was 22 inches. Jim is shown here with his 21' walleye and I caught a 20" walleye. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time. Thanks guys! Today back on the river Jack caught and released a 26" walleye. Earlier in the week they pulled out that 27.5" (shown below) and a number of walleye in the 21"-25" range. In comparison from the lake to the river it looks like the larger ones are coming to the river. The shiners began to run this week so the walleye will be looking for them. Water temp on the river remains at 68 degrees. Some rain tonight and temps cooling down to lower 40's for a couple nights should help.

Brett caught this beautiful 27.5" walleye the other morning jiggin with a fathead. His group have been doing very well this weekend catching all kinds of fish. Walleye have been picking up in numbers and size. Their group have been pulling in walleyes between 21 and 24" more and more. Sturgeon have been very active in the evenings lately. Water temp is cooling. Last check was about 69 degrees. Despite the low water level the bite is very good and will only get better.
