Fish Report 3/20/25

by | Mar 30, 2025 | Ice Fishing, SnoBear

Hello from the BLA! The ice is receding from the shorelines and getting soft. I was out yesterday afternoon in the SnoBear on Gull pout fishing. We had 16” of ice with the top half a bit on the soft side. The burbot spawn is winding down, but we did still see a number of them and landed 1. With the cool nights, I’m thinking the ice will hang on for a bit yet. Crappies, sunnies and perch are still fair game (with a current fishing license) and this time of year they are chowing down! Walk quietly and hop from hole to hole in the shallows and you should score!! We guide 365 days a year, so if you have the itch, call Shelley at 218-839-5598.

We hope you choose us for your

next fishing trip!

Whether it’s a family vacation, boy’s outing or girl’s getaway, we will craft the perfect fishing experience for your group.

I hope you all had a nice weekend! We celebrated the 250th anniversary of our country in Bozeman, MT, by welcoming our 2nd grandchild into this world. Back on the water tomorrow, and it's going to be a scorcher. We are well into our season, and the guides have been doing a lot of trips! Some walleyes are cooperating, but many of the folks we fish with this time of year are looking for action....

Good evening! The water temperature is up into the mid-sixties, and fishing action is picking up. People always ask when the best time to fish is, and I say June and October. So, you know what that means? You should probably get out on the water and fish. I had the Bjellands out this morning on Gull, and we had decent action. We started by pulling Shadow Raps and finished by pulling Raps. But...

“Dan is an incredible guide. He is personable and knows the Brainerd Lakes area like none other. I suggest anybody who wants to get into fishing and doesn’t want to spend all the time and money to try to figure out how to catch ‘em to just hired Dan and his team!”

“Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleyedan. Our guide was Dustin and he was so friendly and engaging with a wealth of knowledge and tips . We caught the amount of fish we wanted for a fish fry and man were they tasty. Besides Dustin’s skills, his friendly personality made the day. We HIGHLY recommend Walleyedan’s guide service.”

“Wonderful experience!! Our guide Chuck picked us up from our resort and was incredibly sweet. One person in our group had never touched a rod and landed a 42 inch plus musky. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!!”
