Ice Fishing Reports for Upper Red Lake Fishing-Archive
Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWebmaster Thank you for your support. Telly and Todd pulled in at midnite and wanted to me to take them out to an area,so off we went. When I got out there Gary was still Fishing? he had 11 in his bucket and caught a nice 14 1/2 incher while I was there. He said they were finicky but if you worked them they would bite. 10 of his fish were caught after 8:30pm. Well I have a big crew this weekend and it should be fun, will be trying some new areas and old ones. COOKIE . Name: mike Upper_Red_LakeCookie, Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWell just came off the lake, guys in sleeper are not doing well 3 fish.They did have a couple northerns that they lost. It seems when you fish for pike to close to the house the crappies stay away.Guys 100 yards away got 16 between 4 of them. Gary and his buddy only have 4. They are also close to where the guys were fishing for pike .Kevin was gone? COOKIE Name: RochesterBoys Upper_Red_LakeI visited URL on Feb 2/3. It was the best fising trip(on ice) that I have had to date(I am only 21). The great time that I had was a direct result of information that I recieved on this forum. For anyone who is bashing Cookie; you do not know him. Cookie greeted us to URL five minutes after we got there. He gave us a good idea of where to put our house(5 crappies and 1 perch)the first evening. This was very helpful for a bunch of guys who knew nothing about URL. The second night Cookie told us the area we should put our shack; so we drilled around and found the fish(limited and fished for fun, 4 walleyes,numerous perch). If I remember correctly, there were no shacks in the area in which he told us to go. All of Hillman's(a renter) and Hudec's shacks were at least were more than a half of a mile away. It was odd how Cookie put us on the fish despite the fact that there were no other shacks in the area. Anyways, I am very thankful for Cookie's selfless acts. Cookie, you are very kind to share your knowledge of URL. You made our fishing trip! Cookie just wants to see everyone have a good time on URL. Fishing Report(in honor of Cookie): Tackle: -Northland Forage Minnow spoon 1/16(super glow) perch color -Lindy's Techni-Color Genz worms(red) Bait: -Wax Worms!

You can contact him at this e-mail address <snip by webmaster> He had just moved his house so we were the first ones in it. We caught one limit the first night all crappies between 12 and 13 inches. It's kind of sad to not want to catch walleyes but we did get a half dozen of those too. We caught 12 crappies the following hour after dusk and lost many more. We went home at 7:30. The only time the crappies came on was a two hour period starting at dusk. About 7:30 they were done. From what I heard from everyone I talked to it was hit or miss. There was another house just 100 yards from us that didn't get anything. We weren't by the big groups of houses so it doesn't necessarily mean that is the spot to go. All I can say is good luck and just have fun. I will send Kelly an e-mail to remind him of this site. Steve Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWell Joel i'm really confussed, there was a house about 100 yards from my new spot, I guess it must be yours? You must be doing well there. I will be moving my house in the future and will avoid moving anywhere near that house. I do plan on moving on to cribbs in the future. Last year in March we did real well there and would think it will be as good this year. COOKIE Name: Cookie Upper_Red_LakeJoel I do not claim to be the great red lake guide. I would feel bad if somone paid me to guide them and they got skunked. All the people I have up spend money at the local busnises so not sure where your coming from. I've had guys set up so close to me I could here them open a beer. This is a big lake and I'm sure theres room for all of us. The local resorts have been very tight lipped about there fishing reports so how would I no how there realley doing. All I'm doing is telling how my guys are doing and where to try at no time have I said go try buy that house? JOHN COOKIE Halvarson <<Added by webmaster: I've watched Cookie's reports for a long while. He's dead on and provides a GREAT service to this website. For the record, NO other URL resort wanted to have anything to do with this website. NONE. NADA. They didn't even return my emails sent to them....I did not try to contact all resorts, but most were emailed. I wish you the best Cookie, and if you ever get a resort or guide service going...you have some free advertising from us coming your way!>> Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeJoel, I tried to email you but it will not go through. As I've stated when we first started fishing we moved are small house 8 times befor we found fish. At no time did I move in on anybody. When we found the crappies I put my large house in that area. when I moved I moved less then 75 yards from where I was and moved there after my friends did well there. AGAIN i DID NOT MOVE IN ON ANYBODY. I moved my house day before yesterday to an area friends had success. There is one house in the area I moved to and I do not no that person or if he or she is getting fish. Most of the people I have up fish buy my house so if they do well I have an area for someone else to try. COOKIe Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeJoel, I tried to email you but it will not go through.
