Wow. I almost had to get the auger out to fish up here in carlton/southern st louis county. Didnt even get a bite today with ice still on most streams around here.

Same here. Fished Willow Creek in southern Stearns County this morning, there was a lot more snow than I expected on the ground, made getting around pretty tough. I had one bite all morning, a small brown caught on a 00 Mepps Thunder Bug, and that was it. That is one narrow creek.

Nice, bigger than the 6-7 incher that was my only bite of the day I should have taken a picture of that little fella, for a small guy he had great color, but the air temp when I was there this AM was 26 degrees, so I decided just to get him back in the water quick.

I did take 2 pics of the widest part of Willow Creek that I fished, this is right before the MN-15 overpass that crosses over the creek in the Kimball business district:

Nice little park there, would like to go there again sometime for a lazy BBQ/trout outing kind of day. Water was not as turbid as I was expecting, saw a few more small trout other than the one that bit, saw quite a few small fry that I couldn't ID as well.

No, I didn't. I was planning on getting up to Luxemburg, but by the time I wrapped it up in Kimball it was close to noon and I had to get back to the metro for a birthday party. I'm going to try to get to Luxemburg sometime this week, take an afternoon off of work and jet up there for a few hours.

I didn't make it out until this evening. River was still over the banks so fishing condition were not very good. I managed a 16 inch brown and nice 22 incher.
