Good Luck Name: Cliff Upper_Red_LakeStacy, your guys will have to fillet the walleyes and leave a recognizable piece of the skin on them. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWell got the shacked moved today but I have no fishing report as I wasn't able to wet a line. The area I was at has turned off so had to make the move. Went to an area that Jason and Gabe caught fish so we will see. Plan on fishing some tomorrow if time allows and have friends coming up so should have a good report thursday. COOKIE Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeAny glow jig works well,I beleave a #4 is a good size I don't no the names of all the jigs a demon comes to mind. Another jig that has worked well is a ratfinky. I like to use a good size hook as there mouths are big . You can't go wrong if it glows. Name: Harry Upper_Red_LakeYes, you will need an extension, there is about 30 inches of ice. As far as hooks, they seemed to bite on anything that was a glow jig. I used several colors, blue, yellow, yellow and red, green and even caught one on a old tulibee hook. I tried a plain hook but didn't get a bite on it. I used wax worms for a while and caught two on that but I had to have three worms on the hook. Hope this helps!!

I am the guy that talked to you right after you begin fishing. I had the white Ford pickup and had my wife along. We loaded up our portable and left.

I hope to get up there again within a week or so with my son. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeBrian the email I sent you did not go through please check and see if its right.Or email me. Rod and Bruce are fishing next to my house,will be going out later and get some updates COOKIE Name: Brian D Upper_Red_LakeCookie, Thank you so very much for putting me on the fish. I had the time of my life last weekend. I caught 10 crappies Thurday night starting at 8pm till 10pm. I had two lines going and that was a mistake. I missed more than I caught. Friday was good again but I only got 8. My buddies were content on fishing in the portable and were not mobile. I wouldn't recommend fishing right buy each other. They only caught a handful. LOW was slow, should have never left Red. Crappie minnows with a glow ratfinkie worked best and pink worked well for me. Got a few on waxies. Fishing was best starting at about 4pm though 8-10pm. Cookie please Email me with some information on your sleeper and cabin. I kept a crappie frozen and uncut to show my father and father in law. They didn't believe me when I called and told them. Now they want to come. Hopefully will be coming up in a couple weeks again with others. Good Luck. Name: Redneck Upper_Red_LakeHas anyone had luck useing Buckshot rattling spoons or glowing ants, or northland Glow sticks that you clip on your jig ? ? ? Name: DAVE TRUMMER Upper_Red_LakeFished Upper Red for the first time. Went out of Hillman's early Friday(1-31-03) morning. Had to drive thru about 1 foot of water for 15 feet up an over a steep bridge to get across a large preasure ridge. What a ride that was! Fished 4 miles out for 13 hrs and caught 23 large crappie between 4 fisherman. Too bad you can't keep walleye's as around 20 were caught with the biggest measuring 23.5 inches. Most were 1 to 2 pound fish. Went out again at 6am Saturday morning in a snow squall and searched for the portables in the dark for about a 1/2 hour. Caught only 1 crappie for 3 hours of fishing. Packed up and went to Lake Of The Woods.
Name: marcus Upper_Red_LakeI was thinking of coming up and mountain biking across the lake with some friends and doing some ice fishing on the fishing side. Could someone write me back and tell me how much accumulated snow is on the lake. Is the ice good all the way across? I remember last year that the snow was plowed out to the fish houses, but I don't remember what the snow depth was much beyond that? If someone who has done any biking on the lake reads this I'd appreciate a reply.....I've got carbide studded Nokian Mtn. bike tires and am going to be bikejoring with three Canadian Inuit Sled dogs if I have snow free ice.....thanks, marcus Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeJust came back from fish house. NOT GOOD fished from 8;30 am to 10;00am no crappies? Have a couple tonight so will see how they do, might have to move house,will have to go find the fish, the easy days may be over. Jason and Gabe came up last night they got 5 and are trying a different area at this time , hope they do well they drove all the way from rochester. The wind is blowing out of the north today and it is bitter, think I will move small house. Will keep everyone updated COOKIE Name: Brady Upper_Red_LakeCookie I will be passing thru the Red Lake area the night of 3/6 with a few friends. Probably won't get up there until around 9 or 10 that night and would like to fish until the next morning. We would like to rent your large shack for that night if it's open. Please drop me an email and let me know if that's possible. thanks! Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeThe wife and I just came off the lake we had a nice steak dinner. The fishing was extreamly slow we caught 5 crappies missed 3 or 4 . Fisherwomen a extention would be a good idea.
