IFishing ideas near Sax Zim bog area

[mnfishingal]

Hey ladies (and guys that love the ladies forum),

I'm planning a trip to the Sax Zim bog area this week to check out the birds and hopefully get a few photos. It's my first trip to the bog area and something I've been hoping to do for sometime.

I'm wondering if there are any fun fishing spots in the area, perhaps someplace that has ice house rentals. Thought maybe I'd get a chance to wet a line. I've not been out yet this year and so have been enviously reading others posts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

One place you could check out to icefish that also have ice house rentals is Hi-Banks Resort on Fish Lake. This lake is north of Duluth though and may not be close enough to the bog. I know people have been having some crappie success on that lake.

We also passed a Nichols Lake in the bog. I know you could ice fish it but it does not have lodging on it as far as I know.

Fish Lake is a good lake. I lived in Duluth for 4 years and fished that one often. I actually miss that lake, now that you mentioned it. It is a fun lake.

Thanks Lisa and Gary for your suggestions. FIsh lake sounds like a good place to check out. I was hoping to leave my auger and quickflip at home and just bring a rod and some tackle, so if I get a chance to fish, I'll have to rent a spot.

I may put off my visit til next week as I planned to leave tomorrow but I'm not quite hardy enough to be out and about in the temps they're talking about for tomorrow and Thursday. I think you guys were 15 degres colder than us this morning and we were right at around -20. There must be some great benefits to living in the ice box of the nation.

Thanks again for the ideas.
