Well
we have had the winter that just won’t end like the rest of the Midwest. Spring
has arrived, we had good rains on Saturday, and temperatures are going to hit
the high 60’s to 70 degrees today. Sand Bay is about 25% open basically from
Ranier to Birch Point, the Sha-Sha- area is also open.
Ice
out is official on Rainy Lake when you can drive a boat from Ranier to Kettle Falls.
Many areas of the lake will be open before official ice out. I look for total
ice out to be May 17th.
There
will be areas to fish this Saturday, Sand Bay, Rainier Bridge to the boom logs
by the paper mill, and the Shah-Sha area. The boat landing in Ranier is ice
free as well as the Pat Roche Landing by Second Bridge and Voyageurs National
Park Headquarters.
I
have included pictures shot today of the Tilson Bay and Sha-Sha areas. I will
update again on Wednesday. Check out the
fishing blog for fishing info with a focus on where the fish will be on on May
18th. This is when the first batch of houseboats leave the dock.
The area we launch our houseboats. First ones will be in Thursday.

I am out side doing this post and one of the best sounds you get to hear at ice out is happening as I write. A ruffed grouse is drumming on a log right across from my house.
