Ice and Fishing Update: 1/9/08

Happy New Year everyone!

We're going to try a new forum for getting these updates out to you, so be patient if we have some kinks..

Ice seems to have weathered the warmer weather ok. We have about 13-16” of ice on our roads. We are out past Hawkbill to Roads C, D and E. We have filled up just about as many spots as we can, but are trying. This year, instead of just plowing you a driveway and putting your house there, we have to plow the spots where we have enough ice and then let it freeze over for a few days to make it thicker and ready for a house and your vehicles. It’s a bit more tedious. We’ve marked roads out to Hennepin, but aren’t ready to head out there yet. We won’t be going to Road F for the weekend, either.

Our rentals are booked up for the next 5 weekends, with the exception of a 6 hole house for Friday, Jan 11-Sat Jan12. We do have openings for weekday (i.e. Sun noon-Friday 11 am) rentals.

Fishing reports are varied, but overall the bite is a bit slower than we’d like. We are seeing some with lots of small perch, and reports of seeing more northern than usual. One renter even had a northern try to hit the 24” walleye he was pulling in.

SPEED LIMIT is 10 mph and this is very very critical!
