How does URL look for ice/no ice? Any reports?
Looking forward to spending my opener up there again this year!

I’m sure it is wide open. I doubt there will be much for reports prior to the fishing opener though. Rainy Lake was considered “ICE FREE” on May 2nd. Our average ice out is May 3rd, so I presume Upper Red had an average ice out as well.

Good Luck!!

Click on link below. If it comes up as April 19th, then go to upper left corner and open, then click on 5/3. Great clear sky satelite wiew from yesterday of whole region.

Sweet! Thanks Mike! Can’t wait to get there!
Chris, was talking about ice out reports, but it does make me wonder if anyone will be out chasing crappies before opener??

No ice, water temp are in the upper 40’s should be a great opener for walleyes! Crappies are starting to move into the shallows as well!
