Upcoming trip

[riverrat56]

So I've got 4 days off work next week that happen to line up with my dads off days as well, were thinking of taking a trip up north some place, it would be from Sun-Wed.

I'm stuck on where to head to though, of concern is that we will be using a 16' Lund Rebel with a 40 hp, wind and waves don't bother me, but I don't want to get pounded all week either. It would be nice to have a big lake to fish if the weather is decent but also have small lakes near by to hit if it really blows hard. We will most likely be staying in a hotel and trailering to the lake daily, any recommendations for lakes or areas to head too?

Leech!!! Fishing is pretty hot right now. There are plenty of close hotels in the area. The lake has plenty of areas to get out the wind a little bit. For the most part, the fish have been biting the whole lake. Check out the Leech Lake forum and you will see positive reports from the whole lake.

URL would be a good option, especially if the Tamarac River is open to fishing.

Crane-Sandpoint-Little Vermilion-Namakan-Kab chain if you dont mind the extra drive plus there are smaller lakes like Echo that produce pretty good. If you put in on Crane there are lots of good spots close to the landing.

Come stay in Bemidji, you've got a ton of hot lakes to choose from, and if the wind is blowing you've got a ton of smaller hot lakes to choose from. Win-win-win.
