Happy Monday.
Ice has been holding up fairly well. We are still allowing driving on our roads, with the exception of large diesels. We have roads out to F. Road I still has some slush. Kevin and the crew will be plowing to Hennepin today, but don't get too excited yet! He is doing it so that with the really frigid cold coming by Wednesday, the roads can crack as it gets so cold and then can freeze & heal up. So still no imminent plans to get houses out to Hennepin.
Some of our guys have been out fishing with their portables and report slushy conditions north of Hennepin and that the ice out to the gravel is so-so.
Fishing has been pretty slow, but interestingly enough, there have been a lot of reports of catching nice northerns! Some houses did ok this weekend and caught some keeper perch and a few walleyes, but overall the entire lake is quieter than usual.
Our County Board meeting is tonight. I thank all of you for your support. These revised regs (http://millelacsmessenger.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=17604 and http://www.millelacscountytimes.com/legals.html.) are of great concern to us; they would significantly affect our ability to continue to do business by limiting our summer live in fish house park. We hope to come away from the meeting with a committee to look into what concerns exist and to work on addressing those concerns; and NOT to have the proposal passed.
Have a great day!
Karen & Kevin

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!
