rush lake: Tiny Homes, a fish story from Minnesota
- 01/21/15 09:38 PM
We Minnesotans often hear we have an accent. I don't hear it..and the movie Fargo sounds like a North Dakotan to me...but I digress. We do have our own names for our unique weather patterns and the results though: Snizzle (a combination of snow and drizzle), maccident (a huge pile up caused by the previous) and Hard Water..when the lakes freeze over and the winter migration ensues. Minnestoa is a state of dream walkers, in the summer the ice fisherman are dreaming of Hard Water..otherwise known as ice. The other sane portion of the population is dreaming of water..fluid, boatable and … (2 comments)
rush lake: Minnesota Rainfal affecting lakeshore sales..or when is there too much water?
- 08/06/11 05:54 AM
It has been a weird summer in my area of the state. By the fall of 2010, my central Mn. location had received 10 inches above our normal rainfall average. This summer has kept up the rainy trend with our rainfall 25% over normal for this part of Chisago County. Buyers all summer have looked at me with more than normal distrust, as I tell them that the soggy ground next to the shoreline is unusual, or the tire swing over the swamp is normally a grassy knoll where the grandkids play! One buyer came right out with it: "why should … (0 comments)
rush lake: Inflation, lakehomes and extended families..rent vs. buy?
- 08/05/11 02:08 AM
Ask two experts and get two answers! Some will say that if you see inflationary pressures increasing (such as now), that it is the time to buy your home and pay it back when dollars are 'cheaper'. There has already been a surge of investors, buying up homes for rental income..and finding great tenants in persons who have downsized, lost homes, or decided to stay on the sidelines during this tumultuous market. One of my customers says rental has never been better, his tenants are well qualified, rents are up, and with inflation, rents will be climbing. With 18 homes, he … (0 comments)

rush lake: Rush Lake, low water, some of the best fishing in years!
- 07/23/09 02:32 AM
I am a lakeshore specialist in the Central Minnesota area, and also co-own the local bait shop for East and West Rush Lake. The lakes in this area are my bread and batter (!) in more ways than one. Yesterday, a wonderful client couple and I took a tour of lakes in the Pine City (river fed), through Rush City, Harris and Rush Point areas. Cross Lake, Pokegama, Rush Lake, and Goose Lake..and found that though all area lakes are down, Rush Lake takes the trophy at approximately 3 feet below average high water. What is funny, is that this year … (1 comments)

rush lake: I love Minnesota! Ice Fishing and boating, all at the same time!
- 11/22/08 06:41 AM
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 … (0 comments)
rush lake: Golf Course Living at It's Finest!

The buzz is on statewide, Bulrush Golf Course in Rush City is one of the premier spots to spend the day chasing your passion! Located just 45 minutes north of the metro, 15 minutes from Grand Casino, and minutes from championship fishing on both Rush Lakes, this course offers challenges, beauty and a golf pro to help your game improve. Designed by George Shotridge, the course opened under the name Brookside in 2002. After a rocky beginning, new owners have taken over the course, improved it immensely, and added a great eating establishment and club house, the Rush Hour Bar and Grill. … (0 comments)
rush lake: Rush Lake, Chisago County, Minnesota,
- 07/06/07 01:07 AM
West Rush Lake is my home, and a large part of my livelihood! I have lived on the lake for the past 18 years, and have watched it cycle through high and low water levels, great and lousy fishing, and huge pressure, low pressure. This year we seem to be experiencing some of all of the above! The fishing for walleye and sunfish is holding at levels I have not seen in at lease 5 years, and as co-owner of the local bait store, my sources are not just in my family! The lake, unfortunately, is dropping like a spilled bowl, … (0 comments)
rush lake: Crane Island, West Rush Lake, Chisago County
- 05/11/07 01:35 AM
West Rush Lake in Chisago County is known for some of the best fishing in proximity to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. About 1 hour north of both cities, Rush Lake is comprised of two large bodies of water, with hugely varied structures. East Rush Lake is the least structured of the two, but West Rush Lake boasts several islands, on of which is a national Scientific and Natural Area. The island was the first in the nation to be named as such in 1974, because of its active Great Blue Heron rookery. There can be as many as 500 nests … (0 comments)
