Hey folks,

I need your help, I just got of the phone with the men in the family, and they all want to come up and have a ice fishing trip the beginning of February. Since I live up here, I'm to be the scout.

I'd hate for them to come so far and not catch anything. I know where to fish in the paddle season, but have not done much ice since I was a little kid. It doesn't have to been in the BWCA, just where the fish are and a place to crash at night.

So where would you suggest for 6 men to go and catch fish?

Not sure what any one is expecting fish-wise, but the Chisago lakes area just east of you will get you Pan fish and Northerns. Throw out a tip-up each and one stick for gills.
