Motorcycles take to the ice with entire families...and the vintage snowmobile races are a tried and true crowd pleasers. Radar run with speeds clocked occur all over Minnesota during the season known as Hard Water . … (0 comments)
west 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)

west 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)
west 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)
west rush lake: Fishing Opener in Minnesota, or Teach Your Wife to Drive the Boat!!!
- 05/14/07 01:24 AM
As well as owning Rush Point Realty LLC, my husband and I own the Rush Point Store LLC, a local convenience store, bait and tackle shop located on the southern side of West Rush Lake. We have owned the store for eleven years now, and for some reason, fishing opener still brings us some of the best laughs, groans, and new stories to share through the year. This year we heard one to top the list! A friend and customer who has been in the water patrol for over 20 years stopped in and we were comparing opener mishaps. Another deputy … (4 comments)
west 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)
west rush lake: Rush City, Minnesota
- 05/07/07 07:37 AM
About an hour north of Minneapolis/St. Paul, the small town of Rush City sits between North Branch and Hinckly on your way to Duluth. A sleepy little town yet, it boasts two gas stations, one on the freeway, and one in town! Rush City has managed to change little in the past 20 years, with the exception of new housing, and a great addition of a new golf course with homes on the grounds. A city owned aquatics center gives the local kids great activitiy in the hot months, and nearby East and West Rush Lake provide boating, fishing and other … (0 comments)
west rush lake: The Treasure that is Rush Lake, Chisago County, Minnesota!
- 04/24/07 02:25 AM
With spring arriving at a gallop, fisherpeople are swarming to enjoy the yearly panfish shore fishing extravaganza! Every year the crappies and sunnies spawn in the north end of West Rush Lake, creating almost as many fisherpeople as fish! Local businessman, Dennis Frandsen, donated the acreage to create the Frandsen County Park at the north end of West Rush Lake. With fishing piers, great parking, trails, picnic shelter and soon to be horse shoe pits, this spot has seen increases yearly for recreational use by not only locals, but a steady influx of metro patrons looking for a close (within and … (0 comments)
west rush lake: West Rush Lake Pelican and Tick Migration!
- 04/17/07 01:52 AM
After a long, hard day Sunday, I dragged home just to have the cell phone ringing. I was bone tired, but new ads are out and my clients deserve my best. It was a friend who I had sold a lakehome to a couple of years ago, someone who I so appreciate having come into my life through this real estate profession! He and his wife have been a gift well after the papers have been signed, as have many of my former clients, now friends. Anyway, he was out on the pontoon (already), and in a northern bay on West … (3 comments)
west rush lake: Need a Snoring Room?
- 04/15/07 02:20 AM
I had to laugh at a recent CNN report that 60% of new, upscale homes will include a second master suite, to let the spouse of a snoring person, or restless leg, tv addict etc. get some sleep! I currently have listed a home with Rush Lake access which has just such an accomodating second master! A beautiful, warm and open floor plan invites people into it's great entertaining spaces. 8 acres of land leave room for a pool, tennis court, vintage auto collection..whatever the heart desires! This property comes with deeded lake access to put your dock out, picnic and … (0 comments)
