Here is a great way to enhance your Spring bird observations and learn a whole lot about bald eagles. Visit the website below and watch bald eagles laying and incubating their eggs and raising their young. Nest location is in the Decorah IA area.

Went fishing on Burntside Lake for Lake Trout Sunday morning. We were fishing in 30-45 feet of water, using jigs and treble hooks w/small spinner and minnow. Lakers take patience. We did not get a bite.

Ice and snow

Ice was 14-18 inches thick, but we stayed on ice roads where everyone else had driven. Still need to be careful. There was 4-6 inches of snow on the ground.  Not enough to snowmobile, but plenty for cross-country skiing on the lakes and dog sledding.
