We head in on Monday and just checking to see where the smallies are.
It was a later Ice off but the temps and have been so warm Im sure the water warmed SUPER fast.

Also headed in on Monday and watching this thread. Going in on Gunflint side.

So are we but we are entering Sag and heading north up the falls chain to Kawnipi on day 2.

I’m going in at #47 Lizz/Swamp. I haven’t decided where I will end up.

Can’t speak for the BWCA and Quetico bodies of water but the Smallies are on their beds on the Wisconsin River and small lakes in northern Wisconsin.

Just got off the water yesterday after a week in the southern Q. Bass weren’t quite on their beds in cold, deep Agnes early in the trip. Bass were beginning to get on their beds in North Bay of Basswood it seemed. A few smaller lakes the beds were already vacated.

Thanks for the report. It seems that with the warmer spring the spawn is going to be over earlier this year.

Just back from a Beaverhouse to Batch trip. Most bass beds had clouds of fry on them.
