Prior lake, spring lake, the st. criox...  check the dnr website and in their lake finder... you'll find maps, dnr fishery reports...
If a gun kills people then I can blame a pen for my misspells?

Where are you located? All the lakes BFG mentioned above are great lakes. I'd also add Medicine Lake and any lake in the Forest Lake area. We did well on Chisago last weekend.

Did you fish that spot you told me about Joe?  Any walleyes?

Not familair with the lakes in that area. I have a friend who lives in Eagan. He is building a new house in Faribault. He has been catching walleyes at a lake called German Lake. Hope that is right.

nothing right now... I don't think there is any fishable ice in the metro... especially after this rain tonight.  I feel bad for the local bait shops... they are taking it in the shorts this year.

This would be their second year in a row......
