:: Minnesota Fly Fishing » Reports  ::

Welcome DBro!

Well hopefully the streams will be open by then.  Last week they were locked up solid, but I would suspect with some good rain and warm weather it should knock it down, but then they get blown out.  There are many different ways to fish the northshore.  You can try casting out in the big lake at the mouths of the rivers as well.  Some guys like to dead drift egg patterns and weighted nympths.  Others like to use more of a swing technique with some stonefly nymph patterns or wet flys.  It just depends on the mood of the fish and the conditions of the streams.  Most of the northshore streams have some kind of run.  But the bigger streams will get the bigger pressure but usually more fish.  There are lots of smaller streams that have smaller runs, but alot less pressure.  You'll have to find those as you drive up the shore.  You could be at one stream with no bites, head up 2 miles to a another and get into a lot of fish.  It just depends on the river conditions and fishing pressure.  Morning are good times.

Stop by Great Lakes Fly Company located downtown duluth and talk to guys at the shop for current info.  Tell them 'Carson' sent you.  You can visit their website at www.greatlakesflys.com

Good luck and tight lines!
