My boat is in storage in River Falls (too bad I'm not much of a trout guy). I know a few lakes North of Hudson and Baldwin. I like smaller, quieter lakes. I have not fished the St Croix yet, but have met some folks that do so will try that too this year. I have spent most of my adult years in Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka area, but have fished in many parts of the State. Red Lake is on my bucket list for 2021!
We have a planned trip to the Lake of the Woods in June. I have caught some wallies around the Peshtigo and Sturgeon Bay area, as well as the Hayword area. Red Wing had a short window this year, but a few caught some nice fish. I think somebody caught a 11.7#er out of there this Spring. It's over now. You might try the Reed's Landing, which used to be good. I met the Lindner Bros. there one Spring in the early '60s. Try the area just up into the St. Croix from the MN. side and the wing dams just South of Reed's. Good Luck!
