Looking for anyone in Northern Minnesota?

Not for years! Hope you find someone up there! I grew up in southern MN, but now in FL.

Yes I figured its a shot in the dark but have to try!

If they are still driving their SUVs out on the ice to go ice fishing they probably are.

Its fishing opener here today and yes still ice on the lakes. Ridiculous!

I miss fresh water fishing up there! We had property on a lake near Brainard, actually Little Falls. Walleye is my favorite! It was 90 here today!

It is beautiful. In a raw beautiful and cold unforgivable way. I'm originally from Colorado. I also appreciate all the water and woods here. I live b Grand Rapids so same part of the state.

I'm from Kansas City and I went to Minnesota in March of 2012. I saw several SUVs out on the ice. I thought to myself, wow, the roads must be very dangerous here when it snows or there is freezing rain.

When I got to my meeting I told one of the guys that I witnessed several wrecks along the way. When he asked where and I told him they were all on the Water he started laughing at me and kindly informed me those were likely ice fisherman. He then took me to his office and showed me some big bluegill he caught ice fishing and had mounted.

Boy did I feel silly!!!

I love it!!! I know I was shocked at the little communities of ice fisherman out on the lakes here during the winter. Ive gotten used to it now and go our with my Minnesotan husband to his ice house now and then. This state is truly unique in IRS love of winter.
