Walleye fishing will have to wait

Yep - for sure.  Opening day of fishing season tomorrow, and all is quiet.  Sure glad we postponed our opening week guests for later dates.   We finally had some sunny (although not warm) weather the last couple of days, and we were taking advantage of the break to get started on getting the grounds cleared, and some of the cottages cleaned.    Sounds like everybody in the mid-west is experiencing cold weather too, so we're not alone.

Sheets of ice around the docks are at least 6 inches thick, so out on the main body of Perrault Lake, we're sure it's more than that.  At least there's enough open water spots for the ducks, loons & herons to find places to hang out now.  Slowly but surely spring is coming. 

We'll keep you posted…. anticipating "maybe" a mid week ice out IF the weather co-operates.

Bye for now!

Blue Moon over Perrault Lake

Just a quick post so you know we are still out there.  It has been a busy fall here at Rainbow Point, and finding time to keep up on posts is tricky.  We are just winding down our bear hunt today, with great success.  I'll let Bob do his own message on that one.   Moose hunt starts on Sunday.

My post today is sharing a time I had on the lake August 31st during the full moon.  It was a picture perfect evening, with the sunset on one side of me and the full blue moon rising on the other side.   Not a ripple on the water, and not a sound aside from the odd splash from a bait fish on the water, a loon calling, or a bird in the distance.

 Thought some of you might want to experience it with me.
