Traffic on the big Upper Red Lake has slowed after the holidays. Fishing in 12′ seens to be good for most with everyone catching fish. Some more than others. The rush to center bar seems to be over with. Which happens every year after a week of heavy fishing pressure. You can still drive anywhere on the lake with ice 19 to 21 inches thick. There is now a pressure ridge that has developed in the last few days that you should watch for. Rainbow & fatheads seems to be the ticket through out the day & shiners good in the evening. With the soft bite on some days jigging with a minnow head works fine.
