    Fishing wasn't too bad on Red lake. Fish moved a lot and we marked a lot of them but they did not want any jigging or sudden movements. The best way to fish these walleyes and perch was to deadstick a fathead minnow on a the smallest tungsten or plain hook you have in your tackle. You can hook it through the mouth, tail, or dorsal, they all produced equally from what I seen. Leaving it at multiple depths from 1ft, 2ft, and 3ft off the bottom. Most of the fish bite at 1ft off the bottom.

      Minnows

    Look for the jagged ice and any sort of bottom content change, small groups rock and gravel. Most importantly get away from the crowds, go beyond the road. Caught fish in 14' of water during the day using a 1/8oz and 1/4oz vmc rattle spoon tipped with a minnow head (glow hot perch). Once the sun went down they switched to live bait bite. Utilize dead sticks and rattle reels with a mix of fat heads and shiners. Don't forget to keep jigging and ringing the dinner bell. They would often come in and check of the spoon and hit the live bait.
