UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT TUESDAY NOVEMBER 10 2009 The weather was almost too nice much of the first few days of the deer season. It was warm & windy Saturday, rained a little Sunday evening then warm yesterday. It did not help the hunter harvest as we witnessed few deer moving and little shooting. I am sure there were many successful hunters but the take so far is probably down some. We still have two more weekends so are hoping for improved conditions to get deer on the move. Good hunting and be safe out there!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5 2009 The Vikings get a much deserved week off after sweeping the Packers, heres to NO Love Boat action! We are just two days from the firearm deer opener with the weather sounding pretty good, maybe too nice? I will take it rather than the wet, cool days of October. While numbers are down a bit around here we are seeing some positive sign so hopefully we get a little "shooooting"?! I will give an update after the weekend, shoot straight and BE SAFE!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY OCTOBER 30 2009 We ended up with about four plus dry days last weekend into the early part of the week. That has ended with rain yesterday- today possibly turning to snow later on?? Most fishermen have hung it up in favor of hunting with just a few boats heading up north. Some limited duck action while grouse hunters have been doing well of late. Just a week out now 'til the firearms deer opener, numbers seem lower than previous years. We will see soon! The Vikings have the late game Sunday afternoon at Greenbay, GO VIKES!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT SATURDAY OCTOBER 24 2009 A pretty nice couple of fall days Friday and today after many drizzly days. More of that tomorrow and this week the way it sounds. Not much fishing going on these days but grouse hunting keeps picking up. A few ducks showing up and the geese are not quite sure which way to head with the nice days Fr.-Sa. Just two weeks until the deer opener, my stands are looking good!!! COME ON VIKES PUT A HURT ON THE STEELERS!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT SATURDAY EVE OCTOBER 17 2009 Well we didn't miss the snow last Monday as we got at least 3" of wet stuff. Most of the week has been drizzly & cool, today was dry but only about 40 degrees with Sunday to be in the 50's??!! Most fishermen still heading to the north, most have wrapped it up. The duck hunting has been pretty slow but grouse are picking up a little with cover starting to hit the ground. Only three weeks 'til the firearm deer opener, guess I better give my stands a check soon. GO VIKES!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY OCTOBER 12 2009 Happy Columbus Day I guess?! We are having November type weather after having July type weather in September. The cold, damp, windy weather has not made for good hunting or fishing conditions of late. Most boats have heading further north (LOW & Rainy) but they had better have ice fishing type clothing. We are starting to loose some leaves finally but still cover available for grouse. With the later start to fall temps the deer have had plenty to eat without coming out onto fields & road edges much yet but that should change soon so we can see a few more around. We had "lake effect" keep most of the snow at bay here but not too far away they had several inches Friday night, we are to miss most of todays snow as it passes through the metro area & south, DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 7 2009 The low pressure system just keeps giving us more of the same, cold & damp with wind most of the time. It has not made for good conditions hunting or fishing, the best of the sporting events have been inside (at the Metrodome). How 'bout those Twins and Vikings!!! With cooler temps and wind we are starting to lose some leaves so the cover will be reduced for grouse hunters. Just so-so on ducks as the strong NNW winds have been giving all the feathered friends a jump start to the South. Once again GO TWINS and GO VIKES!!!!

* * * *

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT SATURDAY OCTOBER 3 2009 We are stuck in the middle of a big low pressure system, damp w/highs in the 40's. This weather in not good for conditions or the bite. There are not too many fishing now with many turning there attention to fall hunting but those out yesterday had a tough bite. Today conditions are worse so do not expect many to brave the wind & cold. The bear hunting is slowly winding down and grouse hunters still encountering a lot of cover for early October. This may be good weather for keeping the ducks low as hunters get there first shot at them today from 9 am to 4 pm. Good luck everyone!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT SUNDAY AM SEPTEMBER 27 2009 Fall is in the air! What a difference a day makes. After a great run of weather we have big changes on the way with the winds on the increase today. We are to have 25 to 30+ mph winds out of the WNW by this afternoon and on into tomorrow witn much cooler temps. Fishing remains spotty with average action on the slow side but those working structure hard having some good luck. The rock humps west giving up some fish and yesterday "the rock" to the NE gave up some nice numbers of good sized "eyes". Still a few bear hunters sitting on baits but most have started to wind it down after a pretty good season. Grouse hunters are seeing some birds but a lot of cover remains for late September. Officially our first full week of fall, so have a good one. GO VIKES, GO TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * *

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY SEPTEMBER 21 2009 The nice weather continues but a little rain today, enough to settle the dust a few days. Fishing has been pretty good but spotty. Some have pulled limits, others real slow action. The rock piles west have given fish, the 4-8' depths out front and east also providing some action. There are some nicer sized fish out in the 10-14' depths just not quite the action. Bear hunters still getting hits and grouse are showing up but still heavy cover. Have a great week!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18 2009 What great string of weather we have been having (July in September) with warm temps amd calm winds most of the time. The walleye continue to bite fairly well, some with a good bite other fishermen with slower action. The rock piles are giving up some fish but there are also active fish in 4 to 7 feet. Tomorrow grouse hunters will be joining the bear hunters in hitting the woods. Archery deer hunters also get started. It seems odd to have them going with temps in the 80's but it is going to cool off some next week the way it sounds. STAY SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * *

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY AM SEPTEMBER 14 2009 The weather was great this weekend but not a lot of boats going out now. The fishing on average was slow but those working the rock piles and what other little structure they could find were catching fish. Bear hunters are still getting action the way it sounds and next weekend the small game seasons open. Expect that grouse hunters will be out but it is going to take a while for the leaves to drop so they will see a lot of cover to begin with. Have a great week!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11 2009 We are getting into fall mode with the Labor Day weekend past. We have had a great run of weather lately, about a half inch of rain earlier in the week otherwise warm with calm winds most of the time. There are not too many going out now but those that are keep finding some active walleye. Trolling is still working but a jig & minnow is now also a way to go. Bear hunters are still able to get hits on their baits and I'm sure quite a few will hit the woods again this weekend. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!
