It has been a while since I have updated this, but there has been little change. The wind blows and it is cold. What's new?
Seriously, we now have most of the roads we usually plow. All of our rentals and most of the private houses have been out for 2-3 weeks. The roads are in good shape except they are getting way narrower than usual. The winds and drifting snow are taking their toll. Lake Street, in particular, is very narrow in a couple spots. I hope the wind and snow stop or we will have trouble getting houses off. Lake Street can not get too much narrower.
The winds and drifting snow are also giving some houses problems with rising water. You may have to block the house higher or move if the water is too bad. Be sure to keep an eye on your water level both before and after you drill your holes.
Fishing has been a challenge this year. We have seen some nice walleyes, just not consistently. It has been very difficult to find a pattern. We have seen walleyes caught shallower on the reef during the low light periods and also in 24-25' during the same time. The abundance of forage(little perch) does not help. Neither do the constant cold fronts coming thru every other day.
We are finally starting to see a little perch action in 27-28'. Some of them are nicer sized, along with lots of young-of-the-year perch. We moved some rentals out deeper to try to get more action. We plow spots for wheel houses in the better areas and we are open for them, along with portables.
