Bow Narrows Camp anglers find the best live bait for walleyes in our area of Red Lake are nightcrawlers and leeches.
Here's a list of some of the live bait dealers that sell worms or nightcrawlers by the flat (500 worms) and leeches by the pound.
Many of these dealers also carry frozen ciscoes and sucker minnows used for early spring and fall northern pike fishing.
Of course all of them carry minnows as do many other stores in the Northwest.
You can place bait orders in advance and have the bait waiting for you when you either arrive in Red Lake or pass through the towns where the bait dealers are located. All it takes to keep the bait alive are some frozen water bottles or freezer packs to keep them cool.

Hello Bow Narrows!! I was curious how much ice is left on Red Lake and when you expect the ice to be melted off the lake? Many thanks!!
There is still about 36 inches of ice on the lake as well as a foot of new snow. See today's blog for more on ice conditions.
It's still anybody's guess when the ice will go off the lake but I would have to say it will be at least a month.
