    I say by April 7th we’ll have full boat traffic possible on the chain…Should result in a good fishing opener if the Walleyes can finish their spawn early and start to put the feedbags back on by May 12th…

    Seen 4 wheelers all over on Becker last saturday. Don’t they run an aerator in there anymore right off Hwy 23 ? Seemed to me, some were pretty close to where it was always open water when it was a normal winter…

    Drove by the river access on 22 and there were a couple of boat trailers there and some people fishing from shore.

    Any updates on the Horseshoe chain ice conditions today? I would think with yesterday’s high winds lots of ice blew off..
