District 6 - Two Harbors CO Paul Kennedy (International Falls #1) spent much of the week patrolling area waterways, lakes, and trails by snowmobile with area partners. Trails in the area are slowly improving, and riders are eager for more snow. Most anglers reported poor success. Enforcement action included illegal-length walleyes, angling with extra lines, no license in possession, and expired registration.
CO Curtis Simonson (International Falls #2) reports working area lakes and rivers this week by checking anglers and monitoring recreational vehicle activity. Enforcement action was taken for angling without licenses and registration issues. Anglers reported a slow bite. Trail conditions remain good on area lakes.
CO John Slatinski IV (Ray) reports that even with less-than-desirable snow conditions there were several groups out taking advantage of pleasant weather. Both anglers and snowmobilers were observed in the highest numbers yet for the season. Trail conditions are rough, but frozen lake surfaces are manageable. Although we have gotten a couple snow squalls to encourage riders, we really could use a good old fashion dump of snow to spruce things up.
