Gunflint Trail Association

Opening weekend has come and gone – but the reports are still coming in. Generally speaking it was a good opener. The ice went of Gunflint Lake May 2 & 3rd and we’ve had some good warm weather since then – (except for the little joke Mother Nature played on us opening morning – which you read about earlier). Gunflint Lake Trout have been accomodating with most guests picking up 4lb average fish either trolling or casting a dead bait from shore and letting it sit on the bottom.

A few Northern have been reported chasing smaller caught fish as they’re being reeled in. The walleye are in the spawning areas, but guests who night fish have been catching the 27 – 30 inchers, taking pictures and releasing them to finish their job! Thanks – that’s so important.
