Walleye are hard to come by on Burntside.  They are roaming around just like the lakers feeding on smelt.  People do occasionally catch them while laker fishing tho.  Lake trout can also be caught at night.  It's not common but I had a couple guys land a couple very nice trout well after dark.  And there is always the chance of a pout.  Put some meat on or near the bottom at night and there is a good chance you will catch a pout.  Lakes are in good shape right now but only time will tell what Burntside will be like on Jan. 17th.

Only a couple more weeks till the BWCA lake trout opener.   :happy1:

  It's still a green light.  I would assume about 9-10" of ice at this time.  If we get some cold temps with no big snow dump it's a go.  I'll post some dates tomorrow.

  I'm looking at being on the ice Friday Jan. 23rd through Tues Morning the 27th.  That gives the weekend warriors a chance to come out too.

Those dates don't work for me. Plus, the super 8 is booked. Can we shoot for later? Like February?

+1.   Either that or we can go later HD.  Plus TGO will probably point us in the right direction if DDS isn't tagging along. ;)

    Burntside should be making ice the next couple of weeks.  With no transportation issues I am going to take a run at it.  General you don't  need TGO's tips.  He just tells you to get your tips at Babes or find a perm with an address of Ely and drill your holes at a 45 degree angle to get under their house.    :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Burntside ice conditions are excellent, 14+ inches with only about 8 inches of snow.  Weather (temps) for the opening week of trout look great, and lake travel by any method will let you get to any area you wish to try.
The exception will be DDS who will most likely get stuck in 2 inches of snow about 20 feet from the landing and have to fish there!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

   I would rather be stuck than sunk.  Hey TGO does burnside burp when it swallows your vehicles?   :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Not sure, did the lake burp when you forgot to put in the plug, and the lake swallowed your boat??   :scratch:

   The first paragraph of the "Ranger Rules Fishing Bible"  states that you should only resort to a hook and line if you can not dynomite  them or drop a vehicle on them.   :happy1:

The Ranger was just doing it's DDS' Boat imitation!  ;)
I've heard they installed a periscope on your boat so you can see where you're going, when you forget to put in the plug (which word on the street has it at more than once!!).  :titanic:

Great ice and snow conditions on Burntside Lake for the trout opener.  You can travel anywhere with a 4x4 pickup, snowmobile, and possibly with an ATV (but it will be slower than normal).
Anyone thinking of coming up should consider the opener or early next week while the ideal conditions exist.
Even DDS will have a chance of landing a trout or two, if he doesn't get stuck 20 feet off the landing in the 6-7 inches of snow we have!!! :coffee:
