I am going to be taking a couple of weeks this summer to go to Northern Minnesota and do some fishing when I get back from my current deployment, can anyone tell me of some good areas for northern Minnesota trout fishing?

But where in N Mn.are you thinking,I'm going to try the straight river for the first time this year.Supposedly one of Mn.s best for large Browns.

Well, nothin is for certain, right now I want to find some good trout fishing in Northern MN, then see what lakes are around those locations. I figure if lake fishing is horrible, I can always hit up trout or vice versa.

Let me get in a plug for the Brainerd Lakes Area and trout fishing on Stony Brook. It's a great little trout stream that flows into Gull Lake at the north end. The stream stretch with big browns and brookies runs about a mile through a nice little park.

Trout season opens in mid-April so if the trout aren't biting you can hop on the lakes (assuming they've opened up by then) and do some great crappie and bluegill fishing. The trout fishing on Stony Brook is great all summer long but if it's not you have great walleye, pike, bass fishing.

Send me an e-mail if you want details.

Neither Cory nor Stony are floatable. They are wadable though.

For Stony...You can park your car in Fritz Loven Park on the south end of the stream (near the mouth) and walk up the stream as far as you want. Lots of fishable water and a very scenic area.

On Cory, it's very wooded and secluded. Still, a beautiful area.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE....make sure to release all the big ones you catch and especially the brookies. These creeks are getting more and more pressure. Instead of try and keep them a "secret" like some would do, I'd rather inform people and advise them too practice CPR. Keep a little brownie or two for a meal but leave the rest so there's something for others to catch and release.

The Arrowhead region is full of stocked lakes. Not so many good streams as the southeast part of the state but there are a few. Some of the lakes in the area are managed as trophy lakes but most of them are put and take. Check the dnr site for stocked trout lakes and you can learn a lot about size, fishing pressure, access and stocking history.

Hope you get home safely and soon.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
