Posts: 397 | I am staying on leech lake this year for the opener on the east side. Only fished leech once and it was later in the year. Any areas that would be a good starting point? Was thinking of going out with Al Mass or Jim Murphy for a day. Has anyone been with either or have a guide for leech they would recommend? Thanks | ||

Posts: 233 Location: Iowa | Either would be good. leech is usually pretty tough early, i wouldn't too have high of expectations that early. Good luck. Jeremy | ||

Posts: 397 | I fish a lot in the cass area for the opener, as well as some of the longville area lakes. Probably use it as a base camp, but will have to give a go for a day. | ||

Posts: 335 Location: Minnesota | With the winter we are having so far and last year's early ice out - I wouldn't count out Leech to get going earlier than normal again this year. It all depends on the spring that we have and how early the ice goes out. | ||

Posts: 498 Location: midwest | Chad Cain is a great guide for the area you are talking about. If Leech isn't going at that time, the lakes in Longville or Mantrap are both good close by options. | ||
