bowstring area

just an update, but its one of those he heard it from another source….. so take it for what its worth.

the new news is that Geigers probably wont be renting out ice houses but roads on the lake are still a possibility!!!!!!

Thanks for the update Glenn

i just got an update from a feller that lives up in that area…well over between marcell and grand rapids. he checked out a local lake, 10 inches of ice and 5 inches of slush.

what i also found yesterday was a snowfall map. it showed Talmoon had 6.9 inches of new snow, Marcell which is maybe 6 miles east of Talmoon had 13.7 inches?

Report from just NE of Cass Lake last evening. 8-10″ of ice, 12″+ of snow with another 2-3″ of slush under the new snow. Knee boots recommended, and tough walking.

I heard in the bowstring area, particularly bowstring, Geiger’s shut down there access until things freeze up. They reported 8 inches of slush out of there place

Over towards Marcell, grand rapids 10 inches of ice, 5 inches slush!

Went up Thursday, cabin lake was. Fine at first. Then Sunday morning this!

Glad you had some luck Glenn

Anyone up this weekend and want to do some fishing? Haven’t been out yet this year, but sounds like you might be able to get around a little better out there now and some plowed roads available too. PM me if you’re in the area.

weather looks like its going to behave itself………so heading north in the morning!!!!! hopefully the fish cooperate……..may even venture to bowstring one day!!!!!

my informants up there say lake travel is pretty good and they’ve had only about 6 inches of snow since new years……………….

Good luck Glenn! I’d come out and join you, but can’t get up there this weekend. I’ll be up the next 2 though so let me know if you’re going to be around.

I’ll be heading home the following Saturday.
