August 2020 Fishing Report

August Fishing Report

Springsteel Resort reports “Fishing in August on Lake of the Woods has been very steady with nice limits of walleye primarily due to downrigging the mud flats in Muskeg Bay. As September approaches downrigging is still the method for most, we are seeing the fish moving closer to the shorelines. Fishermen are now starting to get fish with spinners at places like Whiskey Flats, Swift Ditch, and the sandbar off of Springsteel Resort. It should only get better are we move into September.

We hope everyone has a safe and successful summer of fishing and that continues into the fall. Good luck.”

Where Can You Find the Headwaters of Five Minnesota Rivers?

beltrami-island-state-forest

The Land of 10,000 Lakes is also home to numerous state forests; 58, to be exact. But only one can lay claim to being the headwaters of 5 Minnesota rivers: Beltrami Island State Forest. Home to the headwaters of: the Roseau River, Winter Road River, Moose River, Warroad River, and Rapid River.

Only in Your State lets readers know what you need to know about Beltrami State Forest.

“Beltrami Island State Forest is a vast forest found in three northern Minnesota counties: Lake of the Woods, Roseau, and Beltrami. It is a long drive from most of Minnesota’s major cities, so you’ll likely want to plan a weekend excursion if you’d like to visit.

The forest stretches across more than 703,000 acres, making it the second-largest state forest in Minnesota. It’s also home to the state’s largest wildlife management area, the 321,000-acre Red Lake Wildlife Management Area.

The forest is filled with many kinds of trees. Most are spruce, tamarack, and white cedar. Aspen and several types of pine are also prominent in some areas.

Many people enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking on the man trails throughout the forest. There are also some snowmobile trails for winter use.

As you move through the forest, you’ll soon see why this vast stretch of land is worth visiting. The peaceful silence is interrupted only by the sounds of animals and the rustling of branches.

If you look closely, you’ll be able to see some of those animals. Many live in the forest, from common birds to rare bears, wolves, and moose. Smaller living things, such as native wildflowers, are also fun to spot.

Not only does Beltrami Island State Forest have plenty of trees, flowers, and animals. It’s also home to the headwaters of five Minnesota rivers: the Roseau, Winter Road, Moose, Warroad, and Rapid.

You’ll likely come across at least one of these rivers on your trip to the forest. Beltrami Island is full of immense beauty and plentiful peace and quiet!”
