ScottMacFish	05/10/2022 01:28PM Thanks, going after a little of all species. Thanks for the note

cyclones30	05/09/2022 08:02PM If you're after lakers, go as early as you can. If you're after the "other" stuff either would be ok. You'll see more people on the later date
ScottMacFish	05/09/2022 07:54PM Hola My Fishermen, So, I have EP70 entry date May 18th. Called Forestry Services in Grand Marais today and they said ice covers most interior lakes, however it was raining, and going to be sunny and ice could be out in nine days. Grabbed another permit for entry date of May 25th. So my questions is, if the ice is just out, is the fishing better than possibly a week later and slightly warmer water temps? If it was you, which week would you go? Thanks for your thoughts!!!!
