LOTW Report 4/24/2011

[Border View Lodge]

Reports of big sturgeon are rolling in.  The biggest I’ve heard so far is 67”!  Lots of other fish in the high 50 and low 60 inch area have been caught and released.  Deeper seems to be better.  Forty plus feet at the mouth of the Rainy has been producing some monsters.  A gob of worms and a hook are all you need for bait.

Once again, for those of you who have never tried sturgeon fishing, the “keep” season begins on April 24th and runs through May 7th.  With the purchase of a $5 tag, anglers may keep one sturgeon between 45 and 50 inches.  Sturgeon are excellent smoked and there are no bones to deal with!  Catch and release has been going on for some time now and has been excellent.  Sturgeon lurk in the deeper waters in along the river channel.  

Sounds like upper 60s and even a chance for 70s early in the week, but cooling down towards the weekend.  We have plenty of midweek openings.  Rate is still just $29 per person per night.  Come on up if you like catching big fish.  It’s a life experience you do not want to miss!

FISH ON!
