Saganaga Lake is as low as I have ever seen it. There are rock piles sticking out above the water line that make parts of the lake look entirely different. Many people have been using the landing off of Sag Store Road, or the “beach,” due to the difficulty getting through the lighthouse at 81. The rocky reefs by Stake... READ MORE >
The 2010 fishing season started out pretty slow, but the bite has quickly turned around. ThisMemorial weekend gave us some beautiful weather and a pretty good walleye bite to boot. It wasn’t fast and furious, but it was back to normal. I have been fishing the Minnesota side of Saganaga and I have heard reports of even better catches in... READ MORE >
Opening weekend was anything but exciting for many anglers. The walleye bite just was not happening, but luckily the lake trout saved the day. Saganaga has turned into a very good lake trout destination the past few years. We have always had them, but not in the numbers we are seeing today. Some people believe they migrated from Cache Bay... READ MORE >
I know, life simply does not ever get easier. Just when you thought there could not be any more paperwork required to spend a day on the water, here comes yet another regulation. This one may not affect very many people, but it is something to be aware of. A Canadian boat operator’s permit is now required for anyone who... READ MORE >
The 2010 fishing regulations are not very different than years past with only a few minor changes. There is a lot of focus however on aquatic hitchhikers including the spiny water flea. Cook County is only listed in the infested waters category with the water flea. Little John Lake was added to the list this year and Caribou, Devil Track,... READ MORE >
The rain gauges are not showing any impressive numbers on the Trail, even though it looks like it is about to unleash on us every day. We have had a lot of intermittent showers that just are not accumulating any significant amounts. Lightning has not started any fires that I know of but the true test will be the beginning...

We live in a world that does not always seem fair. The poor walleyes are struggling to spawn in a trickle of a river while being attacked overhead by bald eagles. Therocky shorelines of the Seagull River are littered with the remains of “would be spawning” walleyes, and painted with eagle droppings. It is easy to take for granted how... READ MORE >
The Sea Gull River has managed to collect enough water to attract spawning walleyes. It is hard to imagine that the river has any water in at all, but it does. We spent some time on Gull Lake working this week and although I tried, I did not see any fish along the shorelines, but I have heard they are... READ MORE >
The old Moosehorn Bed and Breakfast sold last November. I was fortunate enough to be one of the carpenters remodeling it this past winter and it looks great. The old Victorian feel has been replaced with pine walls and hickory floors. John and Rose Schloot are part owners of this resort and you may recognize their names from the Pig... READ MORE >
The snowmobiles and icehouse have been put up for the summer, but I am not quite ready to break out the boat yet. I’ve been told a boat was heading up the corridor on Lake Saganaga this past weekend and it was able to get out past the “Spawning Area No Fishing Zone” but could not get much farther than...
