If you enjoy catching walleyes – who doesn’t? – Upper Red Lake was the place to be during the first three weeks of the 2023 open-water fishing season.
From opening day of the fishing season May 13 through May 31, Minnesota DNR creel survey data showed that anglers collectively spent 120,000 hours on Upper Red and harvested 101,000 pounds of walleyes. Each angler caught an average of 2.2 walleyes per hour and kept 0.8 per hour. Many factors have led to the great early-season fishing success on Upper Red.

Ok outdoors enthusiasts, what is it that attracts us to outdoor clearance bins like a moth to a light?
I just so happened to be at an outdoor superstore recently and I couldn’t believe my eyes, that’s right grown men digging in these bins looking for the bargain of the century. A gentleman went on to tell me that this is called “Prairie Dogging” and you could find that lure you have been looking for at a cheap price or you could be looking for just a plain old bargain, all while digging around like a prairie dog.
