To my surprise the ice pack went bonkers today! I dorve up to the lake to see waves out to the last sandbar and Hillmans road bank was way up north and taking off to the south west.
A week or so if the ice pack banging around and we will have open water soon.
what is the slot this year on red ?
Per the reg book;
————————————————
Red Lake, Upper including Shotley Brook and Tamarack River (Beltrami
Co.). Northern pike: all from 26-40″ must be immediately released. Only one over
40″ allowed in possession. Walleye: Restrictions or changes will be posted at public
access sites and on the DNR Web site.
•A person’s statewide bag limit may not include more than current daily bag
limit of Red Lake walleye.
• While on these waterbodies, a person who is in possession of dressed
fish or fish fillets that are being prepared or have been used in a meal
must retain the fish carcasses of the dressed fish for inspection. The fish
carcasses from dressed fish with size limits must be retained with head,
dorsal fin, and tail intact and maintained in such a way that the carcass
may be examined, measured, and counted. While on these waterbodies, the
carcasses will be counted and included in a persons daily possession limit.

Sounds like it will be four fish limit with a protected slot of 17″-26″ until June 15th where the slot bumps up to a 20″-26″ protected slot until December first.
It’s fun to make a challenge out of it and keep only fish over 16″. Best to have a VERY accurate means of measurement or not so fun at the landing…..I always get a kick out of the po po telling people how close it is and maybe it should have been thrown back. Math is math.
