| The ice went out on many of the small lakes yesterday, here in the Walker, MN area. Leech has a ways to go yet. The frogs were making noise last night and it finally seems that "Spring has sprung..."

Location: Woodstock, IL | I haven't been up there to witness in person, but here is a picture taken today of the Manitowish Chain.
Scratch that - the picture didn't turn out too well. You'll have to take my word for it; Spider Lake was almost completely open.

Location: Warroad, Mn | The LOTWs is just starting to move a little. I would guess opening around the first week of
May unless we get some warm windy weather.
Lake levels are rising, it's all ready higher than it was all of last year.
Maybe we'll have a normal year for a change.

| Alot of open water on Spider/Manitowsh (WI) but still some ice on it. With this wind, it will be toast in a day or two, if it's not gone at this hour. Trout is a little behind, but ready to go soon. Drove by a few small lakes in Iron county, pretty much the same....almost open. Gile FLowage is wide open which I thought was interesting. The lakes that had "ice" on them looked more like a "grey marguarita"
It's here....  |
