I just got back a few days ago with four friends from lake of the woods... We fished out of Ballards resort on Zippel Bay just north of Baudette, Mn. In three days we caught 5 walleye and 4 sauger.... Water was dirty because of high winds when the ice first started to form, and I think this was responsibe for the poor fishing.. You can keep up on a weekly basis from getting the newsletter on fishing by going to www.ballardsresort.com. I do plan to go up again later, and hopefully the water quality will be better. ron mckinney...bemidji, mn
