This is the first year in the last five that I won't be going to northern MN for the walleye opener which is May 11, this year.

This is the first year in the last five that I won't be going to northern MN for the walleye opener which is May 11, this year. Maybe that's a good choice. I'm from IA but would really like some feedback on the ice out situation on Leech, Cass, and other lakes in that area.

That is strange because I also do a lot of fishing right around that area. Would you like to borrow some dnyo? Im just kidding. Unfortunately for me, all of my fishing gear is up there were i wont be for awhile. I'll call a resort up there soon to see on the conditions. two weekends ago i was up there and all of the lakes were covered

Thanks for letting me know. Froggy's Bait in Cass Lake said Cass was still ice covered on May 4. My wife and I have been fishing Cass since about 1986. We have a seasonal on that lake. I've got a high school friend that lives in Walker so I have fished Leech Lake some.

Where do you do your fishing in that area? Just curious.

Southern end of Leech lake. Sounds like the fish are still inactive with the cold lakes
