If you enjoy catching walleyes – who doesn’t? – Upper Red Lake was the place to be during the first three weeks of the 2023 open-water fishing season.
From opening day of the fishing season May 13 through May 31, Minnesota DNR creel survey data showed that anglers collectively spent 120,000 hours on Upper Red and harvested 101,000 pounds of walleyes. Each angler caught an average of 2.2 walleyes per hour and kept 0.8 per hour. Many factors have led to the great early-season fishing success on Upper Red.
