Walleye, Big Northerns, Occasional big crappie (14"), drum... Upper Red Lake. The walleye bite last weekend on Leech was outstanding. My friend and his son caught 81 in 36 hours, and they averaged over 21". They had a hard time finding 8 walleyes in the slot. I would consider Alpine, but you can't get there in 2 hours. Seagull would have 3 of the 4, I'm not sure about blue gills. The problem with seagull is it's big water, and you could easily get windbound. |

SoMpls: "Thanks for the replies. Crazy to hear that about leech, my dad was up there for opener and they had a really tough time. Makes sense with the warm-up I suppose. Moss, Daniels, and Partridge are all loaded with small trout. Downsize your lures. A 1/8" or 1/4" oz. little cleo will easily out-produce a standard-sized spoon or crankbait. Duncan and Rose have much bigger trout, but those lakes are *much* stingier to give them up. Partridge is a nice, quiet lake because it's a dead end with a 200+ rod portage to get there. As a day trip, it's not bad. When there is a bug hatch, casting little cleos in the middle of the lake can be almost non-stop action. |

I am probably leaning Moss at this point. Glad to hear you agree rpike. Just a little worried with the warm weather the fish will be deep and it'll be tough going. Especially since it should be prime time for other species... |

My friend said, right out from Sugar Point, Anex Reef... I don't know leech, so that means nothing to me, but perhaps you or your dad would know where that is. |
