Ice anglers are preparing for the upcoming Rainy Lake Sport Fishing Club Derby, and are targeting all types of species. Word is the walleye are responding to live bait whether you are jigging or using a bobber. Crappie are also responding to minnows but have not been very consistent. Most of this fishing has been going on around Sand Bay.
Some people are getting out further east, like around the mouths of Black and Cranberry Bays, but they are targeting Northern Pike. Access to that area greatly improved when the Park Service completed the Rainy Lake Ice Road between the two bays. Along that road you might find some structure holding walleye like around the east end of Dryweed Island, try to get into about 25 to 30 feet of water. Meanwhile, we've been running into snowmobilers from all over the state, they are finding our trails in excellent condition, The groomers have been out regularly as we have had some six inches of new snow fairly frequently. The trails in Voyageurs National Park are well marked and make some nice loops between the gateway communities. Need a map? Contact us and we'll put one in the mail! Feb. 21, 2018
Snow, Snow, and more Snow. If you are thinking snow, we have it. We have received between 10 and 12 inches of snow since Sunday. It is just awesome here right now. The groomers are out and going full time to get the trails in great shape. We are adding to our base and the trails have lots of snow on them now. Conditions are great. We have more snow in the forecast for the weekend as well. Our entire area received the snow, so the Orr area, Crane lake area, Ash River/ Kabetogama, and Int’l Falls areas are all Grooming full time. So if you are looking for a great time, riding in lots of snow, now is the time to get up here and enjoy some of the best riding of the winter. Trail conditions are brought to you by Voyageur Trail Society, Inc. Feb. 13, 2018 We are ready here in the North Land. We have excellent conditions with a good base and plenty of powder on the trails. With the colder weather, the trails have held up very well and the groomers are out almost daily keeping the trails in excellent condition. The Int’l Falls, Ash River/Kabetogama, Crane Lake and Orr area trails are being groomed and the drivers are doing a great job. The Lake Trails in the Park are being groomed as well and are in the best shape of the winter. The Arrowhead trail south is also in great shape. Groomers are out hitting the heaviest travel areas more often to keep things in shape. With all of that said, if you haven’t been in our area this winter, now is the time. You will love the hospitality and the riding opportunities and will love to come back again. See you on the Trails! Trail conditions are brought to you by Voyageur Trail Society, Inc. |
