Above: Diane Wimmer shows off the beautiful rainbow trout she caught on March 5. The 21½-inch rainbow put her in the lead in the Trail Center Fishing Contest for rainbow trout. Diane said it made a delicious dinner.
This will likely be the last fish report until fishing opener on May 11. But the season wrapped up with a great Trail Center eelpout tournament on Poplar Lake. Read Cory Christianson’s Tails from the Trail column for more on that.
This week wrapped up the season-long Trail Center Fishing Contest and the folks who won fabulous prizes and bragging rights.
Congratulations everyone and thanks to Sarah and the folks at Trail Center Lodge for a good time!

Left: This 35-inch lake trout earned Julie Collman of Grand Marais first place in the Trail Center Fishing Contest. Julie caught the trout on the Canadian side of Saganaga Lake. Julie said, “It was an old fish, as the dorsal fin and the lower tail fin were almost gone.” She added, “It was really fun to catch!”
