Elbow Lake, like most of the lakes here in Cook County, will probably be iced over for the fishing opener.
The road to the Elbow Lake. The snow is melting fast but I need to find another spot for fishing opener.
It was sunny yesterday–a perfect day to scope out possibilities for the Minnesota fishing opener in Cook County and to enjoy the beautiful scenery here. The Kadunce is open and running hard. What a change from the last pictures I took!
The Kadunce is flowing hard. Look for some still pools
if you are planning to fish for Steelhead next weekend.
The lakes will be frozen for the opener but one should try for some Steelhead (okay–if we have to). I can’t predict yet how the Steelhead fishing will be because I have no idea how the weather will be this week and how much run-off we’ll have above. There is still a lot of snow upstream. In saying that, I would think Steelhead is the route to go next weekend.
There is something mesmerizing about this spot where
the Kadunce flows into Lake Superior. I might just have to
go back another hundred times or so to figure out what it is.
