I love Minnesota! As the owner of the local bait shop, I get daily reports from the lake, even if I don't get a chance to get out on it. A large portion of West Rush is visible out of my window, and this morning as I was working, I watched boats traversing the lake with Eskimos piloting around the newly formed ice packs. Well, maybe not packs, more like skims..but hard water none the less! At our store, the past week has seen excitement build from some of our favorite (albeit crazy) fishermen, as the north end of the lake has frozen over. Todays report ranges from 3-5 inches, with ice fisherpeople already set up with tip ups, heaters, and more expectations than common sense! Eagles are feeding on the edges of the newly formed ice, and gulls. The spot to the right in the ice to water picture is the boat!
