Can't wait to get our house out in Black Bay...could be tough visibility with the high water though.

Saw my first spear house this morning west of Bagley on my way to school. 6-7" on the little lakes around Crookston/Mentor.

One of my friends emailed me a picture of a 30 inch 10.5lb walleye caught on a local lake just north of me. 5” of good clear ice. I think he sent it to me to be cruel and knows darn well I can’t go fishing. The lake is also good for big pike on the west end.

Elwood. I thought everyone knew where Winger is. Guess not so it’s about 45 miles north on hwy 59 of Detroit Lakes.

I knew where Winger was. I was there last summer. Had to visit the Ice Saw capital of the world!

My 20lb Turkey that I will be enjoying tomorrow came from Winger MN!!!

It was probably fed with “Fish Food” straight from Fish’s fields.

Where in the world did you get a turkey in Winger? Unfortunately after harvest there isn’t enough for the critters to eat being we run CaseIH combines and the only fields I see wildlife in are where the other colored combines went.
