The first significant snowfall and hard front of the Minnesota winter had an undeniable effect on the early-season walleye bite. We caught fish today but we had to work a bit, which wasn't the case at all even yesterday.
With stained water and dirty ice, sound was a key ingredient. Some fish hit dead sticks or silent jigging baits, but rattling lures like Lindy Darters and Rattl'n Flyer Spoons were the best producers.
Despite a tougher than normal bite, I enjoyed experiencing Red Lake ice fishing firsthand, getting out in the ice for the first time this winter and spending the day being entertained and educated by 4th-generation guide Jonny Petrowske.
