Department of Natural Resources report for the week of Feb. 1, 2021. Written By: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources | 8:00 am, Feb. 2, 2021 × District 5 — Eveleth area Conservation Officer Darrin Kittelson (International Falls 1) reports snowmobile trails are getting better with each snowfall. Ice fishing on area lakes remains slow, but people still are finding it better than sitting at home. The last fur registration took place with few trappers registering bobcats and otters. It appears more bobcats were registered this year than other years. CO Curtis Simonson (International Falls 2) reports spending time checking anglers on Rainy Lake and the Rainy River. Anglers reported fishing being very slow.
