You know it Ryan. Rob and I are looking at coming up the the first weekend in Dec I believe it would be the 1st to the 3rd. Ice permitting of course. I will be calling you here in the next few weeks to talk. After deer hunting greenbacks will be the next thing on my mind.

Man, I watched your hotspot video last year and that was insane. Where can a guy get more info such as lodging and locations? Maybe I could plan to meet up with some fellow FMers up there

[Matt Johnson]

Ahh yes, the monster greenies! I have to make a trip up there this winter. I know the walleye fishing is awesome, but from what I've heard the company and laughs are just as good if not better!

[Northlander]

Im doing this for sure this year. Im thinking about a 4 day deal. Ryan let me know when you have good ice and the fish are goin and Ill get up there.

Anyone who wants to join in the fun let me know.

Ryan can yu send me a list of Hotels close to there? Thanks.

[ryan johnson]

anyone who wants to come up here just has to give me a ring.. I'll try to put together a list of hotels together. man it's gonna be a blast this year

i would love to head up that way for some monster eyes this winter. now i have never fished up there in the winter. i dont have any vacation tell the end of Feb. and plan on taken two weeks off. if i could plan it right have the weekend at red for slabfest and then head up for awhile. hows the fishin around that time most likely i would be makin a solo trip and would like to find other things to do like snowmobiling. any answers would be great cause i wanna hardwater trip of a lifetime this winter and from the pics and videos i think it would be.

Like I say I am planning to be up there the first weekend in Dec. as long as Ryan tells me there is enough ice to walk out if not the first weekend then for sure the second weekend. I will probably try to get up again over Christmas time as well. Anyone interested in meeting up drop me a line. Like I say Ryan I will give you a shot in a towards the middle of this next month.

[ryan johnson]

the end of feb can be excellent..I did my best work in march last year..caught 7-8 masters in 5 days..

there have been othere areas found just outside the mouth of the river,that have been producing better than the river itself..lots of places to sled also!!

I would love to come up there. I've only been fishing out of perms on ML. I am trying to go portable this year. If you come up with a list of lodging, etc. I would love a copy of it. I am thinking about coming up with a friend or our foreign exchange student from Germany.

Only thing I would say about bring a foreign exchange student make sure all they have the proper paperwork for going into Canada. Back I high school I we had a exchange student and her Visa for the US wasn't good enough she need one for canada too so check before you take off with him.

Hmmm... would love to go.

Just that darn border crossing thing. See ya in 3 1/2 years!

Last year we stayed at the Canada Inns Garden City hotel (which is pretty close to Ryan's house) and the Days Inn (which is a little further south). Both places were fine for what we were after.

Marine Man and Ifalls we should hook up and head north together. I want to hit it for about 4 days maybe in late Feb?

Can you get me contact info for those hotels? Thanks.

[Catmendo]

For those thinking about heading up this way in pursuit of big 'eyes and pike , you should consider

the best lodging facility the region has to offer!

We offer great accommodations and they're located on the banks of the Red!

All guests of CATS ON THE RED have access to up-to-date angling information as well as the hot spots. Are goal is to provided you with that all important information that is needed to ensure your trip is a success!

The '06/'07 hard water season is right around the corner. My prediction is one of total optimisim, that there will be vast amounts of huge walleye in the Red from first ice thru December. The place to be in March is Lake Winnipeg, at times the action can be breath taking out there! Our guests will have access to GPS cooridates while accessing this massive exspanse of ice!

Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on our services, or if you need any assistance in planning your trip....." we are here to serve you"!

I might be open for that depending on what is happening at work. Marine Man would be out though because his wife is expecting a kid around that time of the year.

[Ed Carlson]

My vote for the best lodging and up to date scoop is a no-brainer for me, that would be "Cats on the Red". The new all season cabins are just what the Dr ordered for the anglers interested in a package for 1 up to 10 or more.

As soon as the ice gets ready and I am able, I'll be there. I won't miss the piggy hunt this season for nut'n...Eh.

[Northlander]

I falls Im open to whenever Ryan thinks is the best shot at a 33"er.

They are there it is just a matter if the cooperate with us.

Ed I am going to have to try out Cats on the Red this winter on one of my trips.

[Ed Carlson]

You bet-ch-ya, I'm sure we will have several groups schooling up from the FM area and staying at COTR. We may have to book & boogie a few groups from my GM regulars.

It's getting me all goose-pimply just thinking on how good this ice season on the lower Red just may be.
