UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY AM FEBRUARY 6 2012 We went from fog "thick as pea soup" on Thursday & Friday to sunny & 40 degrees on Sunday. Supposed to be more normal as far as temps go this week but little to no new snow then warming to 30's again by next weekend...I'll take it! The bite on walleye overall was slower with some limits & nice numbers coming in here & there. Perch saved the day for some of the fishermen with quite a few keeper size being caught. We didn't see much on the crappie but some pike action reported. Most of the "eyes" and perch coming from the 15' mud flats on jigs w/minnow. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT THURSDAY PM FEBRUARY 2 2012 We are in the midst of another warm spell. 30 degrees or warmer the next few days or longer with little snow in the forecast. Hopefully the nice conditions will make for some good fishing action also. The average bite has been slower this week with a few good reports in the mix. The 14-15' depths are still probably best over- all and still quite a few perch going in those areas also. Road and ice conditions are very good right now with offroad travel still an option in most places. Whether you are coming to the lake or staying home for the big game HAVE A GREAT SUPER BOWL WEEK- END AND BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY AM JANUARY 30 2012 Saturday started out snowy and windy as we got another two inches of the white stuff, Sunday, of course, turned calm and sunny. The overall walleye action was fairly slow but we did have a few put together nice numbers and limits. The 14-15' depths is still where most of the better action has been. Jigging with minnows or minnow heads is still doing better than set lines, thus the night bite on rattle reels has not been hot for too many fishermen. Sounds like mild temps are back this week, have a good one!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY PM JANUARY 27 2012 Weathermen!!?? Yesterday they said 1-2" of snow, by this am 2-4", by 9am 6-10" and by 11am back to 3-5". We got about 2"!! Oh well. While the overall fishing this week was not great we keep getting some good action here and there. There is some evening bite in 8-10' but the best overall is still 14-15' depths. Right now just under 2 miles out is as good as anywhere. Jigging is your best bet as the dead sticks and rattle reels at night have not been going that well. Today we had some shacks do quite well in 15' during the day with morns & eves still solid for most. FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY JANUARY 23 2012 We made it through the -40 below wind chills to warm up, then snow about 4 to 5 inches Sunday into this am. One can still travel off road w/houses but the rough ice is a little harder to see now. The fishing over the weekend was somewhat slow on average but there were some who hit pretty good walleye action. Quite a few keeper perch being caught, just the occaisional crappie and some big pike hitting also. The 14 to 15' depths best by day & night but some decent morning & evening action showing up in 8 to 10'. A big thanks to some of our customers from cental MN, Marshall, Mankato and other points south that spent part of the winter with us. They now figure to have fishable ice at home...be safe out there! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY AM JANUARY 20 2012 The temps fell to around -20 below the last couple nights with wind chills near -40 below. The fishing though seemed to pick up a little with some nice numbers of walleye and perch coming in this week. A few crappie in the mix and some pike action- although quite scatterred. The 14-15' depths are doing best day and at night. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND & STAY SAFE!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT TUESDAY JANUARY 17 2012 We are to get some winter like weather the next few days, not a lot of snow but temps near -20 below. Then a warm up by the weekend! Fishing was spotty over the past weekend some doing very well with the average on the slower side. The better action still seems to be in 13 to 15 plus feet with jigs or set lines both catching fish. Travel is very good as trucks and wheelhouses can go just about everywhere off of our access right now. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT WEDNESDAY EVE JANUARY 11 2012 It looks like we are going to get a couple days of winter like days before it warms back up a bit. The walleye bite may not be like December but limits of nice fish are still coming off with some fishermen. Some very large pike being caught and we have seen more big crappie the last week than most all of last winter. All in all the ice fishing on Upper Redlake is one of the best things going...and our ice is some of the best and safest in the state right now!!!! HAVE A GREAT MLK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY JANUARY 9 2012 The mild, snowless conditions continue up north here. The ice however is good with 17 to 20" most places. While the overall walleye bite has slowed from early season there are still quite a few fishermen able to put together some nice numbers of fish. Jigging or set lines are both working during the day and night. A few crappie are showing up in 14 to 16' depths and some nice pike also with a 47" the largest reported over the weekend. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT FRIDAY AM JANUARY 6 2012 It is like March in January with 45 degrees yesterday and mid-thirties today. The ice though is sound with 16-18" most areas. The walleye bite has been somewhat spotty with some struggling to get enough for a meal as other houses may catch 40 or more over a day. We are fishing 10-13' and have moved out to 14-15' depths where the bite is maybe a bit more consistent. Trucks w/houses are going most areas now....FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT THURSDAY PM JANUARY 5 2012 What a great March day...oh thats right it is only the first week of January. About 45 degrees today but the ice did not suffer at all, just a little wet on top--not bad at all. The walleye bite has been spotty the last few days with just so-so action the average. We have been fishing in 12-13' depths but are now pushing out to 14-15' waters where the bite is a little stronger. Jigs and bare hook w/minnow both producing fish. Trucks w/houses are going most all depths...have a great week- end-----FISH ON!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT MONDAY JANUARY 2 2012 The New Year came in with 40 mph winds so thankfully we did not get much snow ahead of that. It was definately a first for me to not put a plow on any truck until New Year's eve so it's pretty hard to complain about our weather this winter. Fishing overall has been good with some having very good action while others have found a slower bite. The action has been from 10 to 13 feet on & off during the day and some decent night bite. While jigging is still bringing in walleyes, dead sticks and rattle reels are starting to produce good numbers. Ice conditions keep improving so the ability to spread out should help. HAPPY 2012 to everyone!!!!
