District 6 - Two Harbors CO Sean Williams (Ely #1) assisted officers along the North Shore with the Lake Superior and tributaries trout opener. Fishing conditions were poor on rivers and streams, with very little current flow and generally still ice-covered. Several anglers checked did report success with both rainbow trout and steelhead.
CO Brent Ihnen (Ely 2) spent most of his time focusing on checking anglers this week. He also spent time patrolling for ATV operators. Additional time was spent monitoring spring trapping activity CO Thomas Wahlstrom (Grand Marais) spent the week checking anglers along the U.S./Canada border. A few remaining snowmobilers were also checked.
CO Hudson Ledeen (Hovland) spent time earlier in the week completing annual training at Camp Ripley. Angling activity on border lakes was patrolled via snowmobile. Spring trapping and steelhead angling opportunities have yet to appear with the abundance of ice and snow.
