Happy Easter Sunday!  This morning the temp up here was 19 degrees.
The last few days it has been that way and the ice is really not doing much as far as melting at all. I’ve had to make a few trips to Brainerd this week for stuff for the barn/office, and made it a point to circle the lake coming and going.

All the inlets into the lake have open water, the north end sand shores have little or no ice. and in front of us the main ice sheet has cracked along the shoreline.  Tonight and tomorrow we are forecasted to get 1-3 inches of snow so it’s not giving up yet.  I expect a late April ice out or maybe early May. but we will need so pretty warm weather to do that.  It’s looking like later this week and going into the next it’s coming.

Making progress at the Barn, flooring done. FRP up in bathrooms/showers, fixtures going in this week. Hoping to get outside work started this next week as the weather warms up.  Lyback’s Marine store remodel is just about complete, with just a few things to finish up. The crew will be busy getting customers boats out of storage the next few weeks as the lake opens up.

I’m going to try to keep maintaining this report/blog every Sunday thru the summer.  With the fishing reg changes…inflated prices of everything it should interesting…Keep a Tight Line!
