Spring is Here in Northern Minnesota

Spring is here and the Ice is coming off lake Bemidji, MN, Finally. High winds and warm temperatures hasten the melt. I have seen a few hardy fishermen testing their skills with ice sheets a few hundred feet away. But opener was not that important to me, this year. I want to relax and have fun. More constant attention is needed with ice, wind, and other objects. Lots of birds to share the open water with. Have fun and be safe the next couple of weeks. Don't hit an Ice Berg.
