January 24

We had plowed roads to 5 mile gravel, but the road past Road C broke up pretty badly during the past two days. Have worked around it to get as far as Hennepin, but we are still being cautious. We are not moving any houses to the gravel yet and do not know yet when we will. Hopefully the warmer weather will help the roads. Thankfully, there is a good deal of ice on the roads and around the houses now. Most off roads areas are 15-18", but the roads have more. Past Hennepin, though, the least we've found so far is 13".

Fishing reports are still varied. For the most part fishing is down, and most folks are reporting seeing quite a few small perch on the cameras. However, we had a report on Wednesday of a 22 and 25" walleye. Another house had a 32" northern and broke the line on a couple others. Last weekend another house had 8 walleyes. So, the fish are still there, but being awfully finicky.

As for rentals, we are full this weekend and next, but have openings for the remaining weekends. There are still 5 weekends to go, so come up and enjoy our Minnesota winters!
