Spring Ahead and Get Ready to Fish

Spring is around the corner, which means it is time to get outside. The snow is melting and a new world is going to emerge with flowers and fresh running water. What better way to get outside than to go fishing at Baudette Resorts. At River Bend’s Resort and Walleye Inn we have everything you need to plan your spring fishing trip from learning how to fish to learning about fish.

Yellow Perch

The yellow perch is one of the most commonly caught fish in Minnesota. This smaller cousin of the walleye is good to eat and eagerly bites worms, but it often is so small that anglers throw them back into the water. Like sunfish and bluegills, perch are fish commonly caught to be cooked in a frying pan and eaten.

Black Crappie

Crappies bite readily and produce sweet-tasting fillets. There are actually two types of crappies: the black and the white. They are tough to tell apart. Both travel in schools and feed on small fish and aquatic insects. If you catch a crappie, it’s most likely a black crappie, which is the more widely distributed of the two species, occurring in most lakes throughout the state.

Northern Pike

This voracious predator is one of the easiest fish to catch because it so willingly bites lures or bait. Northern’s produce chunky white fillets that many anglers say taste as good as walleyes. Most northern’s caught by fishing run 2 to 3 pounds, though trophies over 20 pounds are caught each year.

Lake of the Woods is a healthy, multi-species fishery with endless fishing opportunities. Perch, Crappies, Northern Pike and more can be caught on your spring fishing trip at River Bend’s Resort and Walleye Inn. The continuous bite is sure to keep everyone engaged and entertained at this Baudette Resorts. So spring into action and start planning your fishing trip today at River Bend’s Resort and Walleye Inn.
