It's March, the best month to get outside and on the ice in the Northwoods. We're out ice fishing this week on Duncan Lake, and actually catch some Lake Trout. We also review some of our other favorite day tripping options for ice fishing trout in the mid-Gunflint Trail vicinity.

Its an express episode on the Frost River this week! Frost Lake is in the heart of the BWCA and few people venture this far in. Frost River itself can be a challenge because of the number of turns and you definitely want to keep your map out at all times on the river. Due to the remoteness of the area and the lack of paddlers who venture in this far the distance between campsites is great.

This is a great route for those wanting to cover some ground and paddle smaller lakes. Smaller lakes give more protection with wind. You'll enjoy some river paddling south of Ham Lake and have some good wildlife opportunities. This route can be traveled in either direction, although with predominant winds from the west you may want to start at Cross Bay Lake.

The 13-mile stretch of river and lakes between Gunflint and Saganaga Lakes is known as the Granite River route and is one of the most unique in the area. Along with the Frost River route this is the only other river base canoe route on the Gunflint Trail. It's waters flow north out of Gunflint Lake and the first part is the most intense with multiple portages around raging waterfalls and rapids.
