    So I’m sitting here thinking again about how I can’t wait for the Rainy River to open up, and then the opener, and then I started thinking what happens if this virus spread doesn’t slow down and Governor Walz decides to draw a circle around me? If the circle isn’t big enough I’m screwed and I’ll have to fish vicariously through you fellow IDO’ers…

    Heck no!!!! I am prepping my boat tomorrow and as soon as the ice goes out on a couple landings , I will be on the other river………Sippi that is! another 2 weeks and it should be prime time as long as the weather doesnt throw a curve ball. Last week of march and early april is prime time here…..the rainy is couple weeks into april at the earliest…..hang tight!! its going to be a wild ride these next few weeks……….and save some TP for us common folk.

    I hit the ice last night to get away from 24 -7 crap that is Corona. Best pan fishing of the year to date.

    Nope. Leaving for Devils Lake tomorrow morning. Hoping things don’t get so crazy in the few days that I am gone that I can still cross the border to come home (half way joking).

    If anything, it will make me spend more time in the boat.

    With how fast things are currently moving I wonder how challenging crossing the Canadian border is going to be this summer.

    Damn it. After stressing the last month about weather my baseball opener trip will get canceled (which it just was, obviously) now youre going to start making me stress about the two trips I’ve got to Canada this year! bawling

    The Canadian resorts will suffer with all the flights that will cancel. Those driving should be OK I think. Although Canada won’t be exempt from this.

    Woke up this morning, my wife is watching the news and says Justin Trudeau’s wife tested positive. Boom! Canada not exempt!

    BUMP: Reviving this question in light of Canada closing border to non-essential travel!

    Does this mean no fishing the CAD side of Rainy River as long as Gov. Walz doesn’t confine us to our homes???
