On Upper Red Lake, fishing is simply a breeze

UPPER RED LAKE, Minn. – The electric trolling motor on the bow of our fishing boat rattled in its horizontal mount as we pounded across 4-foot swells of foaming, root beer-colored water en route to a promising jigging hole.

The boat belly-flopped into the ebb of a big wave, springing the motor upright, then down with a loud clunk. Not good.
