Is the Minnesota side worth fishing? Looking at options for a fall fishing trip. Thanks!

Like Baudette and Warroad area? Definitely no, not for musky as there’s not a fishable population … Angle inlet, oak/flag island area technically you’re in MN… and, certainly some muskies on the mn side up there , but 99% of the time if you go that far your gonna spend 99% of your time in Canada…

Exactly this!!! We stay in Minnesota at the resort, you can pee into Canada off the end of the dock however. Just get a Remote Area Border Crossing permit and you can run anywhere you want on the lake, Plus your about 2 minutes from spots that will produce nice fish.

Location: Roseau		RABC is on hold for new applications.
You can travel back and forth on the water without a RABC as long as you don't touch land.
