A week ago went up to northern MN for a couple more days of walleye fishing on Upper Red Lake. Not nearly as good as the fist time up there but still fun. It was nice it only got to -15 this time, no wind so it was quite nice.
Been playing with the panoramic mode...
Here is the house my brothers friend built. When you have to drive nearly a half hour on the ice to get to your spot there aren't crowds.
Here is the other side.
We did get enough to eat out there. Figured we could get more to bring home the next day... we figured wrong. Got very slow after we ate these.
My best walleye for the trip. A 19"er right before it went back down the hole. URL has a 17"-27" slot that has to be released.
My brother and I went out looking for fish one morning hopling to find a hot spot. I caught one walleye just too big too keep and a northern pike just under the slot so I could keep that. No hot bite any place to we didn't move the wheel house. WIth no wind my brothers pop up shack worked well even though it was barely above 0.
The ice had to be nearing 3 feet where we set up the house and I suppose it was close to 4 where they have kept the main road cleared off. Hope this works, a video of how they maintain access on the lake.

I hope I can make it up there again next year. Fun place to go and you always have a chance at a fish of a lifetime.
