Hey there!

We would like to bring leeches with us when we go. We will be staying at Fenske Lake Cabins the night before we put in. Where’s the nearest place to that outfitter that has leeches?

Leeches are most likely gone, and if anyone has them they're small. I'd call around, or even stop somewhere on the range or Duluth area if traveling up that way.

I would secure any leeches around where you live and bring them with you. They are getting pretty hard to find this time of year. The trappers stop getting them about this time. Buy them at home, keep them in your fridge, change the water every day.
