While some of the smaller lakes in the area have enough ice to walk on, Kabetogama is struggling to make ice. Just when we thought an early winter season was in store, mother nature slaps us in the face with high winds and fluctuating temps. Needless to say, we are a ways out from the main lake having serviceable ice.
On the bright side, small bays famous for its world class spear fishing are seeing some action as ice is thick enough to walk on. Gordon at Sandy Point Lodge is planning to have his spear houses out and ready to go after the Thanksgiving holiday. Sandy Point is the only spear fishing outfitter on the lake and if you haven’t spent time in a spear house, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Don’t forget to stop into Gateway General for all your spear fishing needs! We have spears, decoys and anything else you will need for your unforgettable day in the spear house!
Duck hunting ends on the 21st in the north zone and was poor at best as the season came to an end. Most hunters were limited to large bodies of water after the cold snap we had 2 weeks ago.
Deer hunting also has come to an end with hunters experiencing average success. Weather was the deciding factor early on making hunting tough in the northland but improved as the season progressed.
We are in a transition period and hoping for light winds and cold temps to get the hard water season in gear.
Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Gateway General!!!
and as always, we all hope to see you soon…..
