09/05/2018 06:48PM Just got in 40# of leeches this morning, still have about 30# left. May have another 40# coming in 2 days. Trying to keep all of you up to date if you are showing up here in Ely. :-) |

09/05/2018 07:22AM Sounds like Grand Marais is done with leeches for the season. Hank's was shocked to hear there were any leeches, anywhere. |

09/01/2018 09:13PM Update/FYI: We have about 15 pounds left and won't know for a few days if "our trapper" will be able to find any more. I'll try to make sure I post here if we do. You can give us a call just before you come up and see if we have any left. (218) 365-3251. |

08/28/2018 06:15AM I panicked and ordered a pound online. I would waaay rather supported you guys. Bummer |

08/27/2018 08:23PM Not by how late we have them, but how late in the season we can still get them. We have about 20 pounds right now & have another 40 pounds coming in on either Wednesday or Thursday (if all goes well). Best to call before you come up. Not sure if after this next batch arrives if we'll have a way to get any more. I think I'm going to keep 2-3 dozen in my own personal frig for my September trip, just to be sure. :-) |

08/27/2018 07:25PMVoyageurNorth: "We have leeches now. By the dozen, 2 dozen, half pound & pound. How late in the season do you normally try to keep them in stock. |

08/27/2018 04:11AM We have leeches now. By the dozen, 2 dozen, half pound & pound. Can't say how long but we have about 40 pounds right now. |

LEECH STATUS: I heard VNO had a few leeches two days ago, but don't know if they have any more. ****Just got a call from my trapper, and he will have some leeches which I will pick up this afternoon, and be selling tomorrow (by the dozen for now)***** |

08/24/2018 01:43PM Ain't gonna happen!! Unfortunately. :( |

08/24/2018 07:20AM Yikes, thanks everyone. I called Voyageur early this week and thought he said they'd have 'em. |

08/23/2018 04:17PM I called around since I am going to Brule tomorrow and seems like supply is very low, there were no leeches in the metro area (Out 3 weeks), there were few when I was in Brainerd this weekend but they were small. Called up a few places up north and now they are selling by the dozen, I highly doubt there will be any left by next week. Start buying those gulps or crawlers ;) |

I would be VERY surprised if you found any leeches in the area, and finding them sold by the pound, next to impossible. Everyone that came through the shop said there are no leeches anywhere. We ran out selling them by the dozen yesterday morning and Skube's was the only other shop in the area that had also been selling them by the dozen for the last week. |

08/22/2018 09:18PM I’d call ahead. I tried getting leaches today in Babbitt, they were out! They weren’t sure if they’d be getting anymore. |

08/22/2018 11:51AM VNO is a good option. Another would be The Great Outdoors bait shop. They're down the street from each other. And, as Atrain says, "among other places". |

08/22/2018 11:45AMFatLunker: "I want to get the leeches local. Large, a pound or two. Where can I get them around Ely?" Voyageur North Outfitters (VNO) has 'em, among other places. |
