Models are hinting at yet another slow moving multi-day low pressure system to the area on Wed and Thurs.
This is after a front arrives tomorrow afternoon with a potential line of t-storms.
Another 1-2 inches of rain by Friday. 
Well, the Capitals did about what I expected them to being that they were literally the worst team to make the playoffs, ever. All that drama with the Red Wings and Flyers on the final day of the season was nothing but over rated drama.
I think the Panthers move on tonight as well.
Crazy finish in Nashville. Up 2 goals and they hit an empty net post, and then the Canucks get a pair of EA goals and win in OT.
Assuming Vancouver and Edmonton each finish off their first round opponents, they’ll play each other in round 2 which will ensure a Canadian team will represent the conference finals in the west.
Good info Brian, thanks
Removing the dam would obviously lower the lake level.
Yes, but the OP indicated that someone was telling him they are regulating the lake levels with the dam. Which is false, because the dam has been gone for years now. There is no way of regulating the water levels in that lake. Its almost solely based on rain fall.
I don’t know what removing the dam in Kathio State Park did initially to lake levels in Mille Lacs. The goal was to turn Lake Ogechie into a marsh for waterfowl production.
The Rum River as it flows south through Mille Lacs, Sherburne, and Anoka counties has been very low the last several seasons. Its been so low by June that I’ve been unable to fish it; and my jon boat can float through inches of water.
Lake levels have been dropping for years now due to drought and it will take a lot of rain over the course of a period of time to bring them back to historical levels.
The dam in Kathio is gone. They took it out years ago. So what he’s telling you is inaccurate because there is no dam anymore.
The connection point in Vineland Bay to the Rum River as it crosses under hwy 169 was also altered years ago too. They had metal pilings in there as barriers, and they took those out and replaced it with a rocky spill over.
There’s not a whole lot of water that enters the lake. Its mostly just a bunch of feeder creeks. The general lake levels are held to the mercy of mother nature and how much rain we get. Obviously the last few years have been on the dry side.
You’re good if you’re in pool 2, 3, 4, etc.
Inland waters are closed.
Yes, and yes.
Carry on
Seems like the 1-2 inch rain totals predicted before this mutli-day system rolled through were fairly accurate although some areas to the east may have received less, and some areas to the west definitely received more.
There appears to be a soggy forecast in the near future as well. Temps will warm to the low 70’s by tomorrow ahead of a cold front that will ignite possible t-storms later in the day on Tuesday.
I started a new weather thread. Go ahead and post there now instead. 
There are a lot of crappy chinese knock off lithium batteries floating around out there. They just haven’t been out long enough to gauge whether they’re junk or they stand the test of time yet.
I would personally rather buy one in store with a warranty than from some amazon retailer online. Just in case there’s a problem within the warranty claim time. Whole lot easier to return one to a store with a person for a replacement than it is to go online and chat with a chinese bot.
Generally speaking, the cheaper the battery, the worse the customer service. You get what you pay for.
St Louis Park is quite nice from what I can tell
I agree, that is a really nice area for a young professional. Definitely can get pricey though.
Crow Wing river not the crow river… big difference Gim
My apologies, I read that wrong.
They usually film their muskie shows down river of the In Fisherman office to the where the Crow Wing River dumps into the Mississippi.
The crow river enters the Mississippi a significant distance from Brainerd. It enters in Dayton. Fishing just downriver from their office in Brainerd to that conjunction would take you 3 days.
Plus there’s a dam in St Cloud that would inhibit you.
Oh my. That’s a deluge.
I received about 3/4 of an inch yesterday. Most of that musta fell sometime during the night.
Also, as anybody who has had a house fire will tell you, the water damage can be as bad or worse than the fire damage. And safe makers tend to say little or nothing about water damage.
See Finny’s post above.
I was specifically referring to theft of firearms. Not loss from a fire, or a flood. I don’t have flood insurance anyways.
When they say “biologists”, do they actually mean it in the plural or is it still one guy out of Brainerd office who studies mille lacs when he’s able? Because that’s how it worked when I was there. The number of biologists at DNR is very small. It’s a law enforcement agency first and foremost.
The primary biologists and specialists that specifically managed Mille Lacs when I worked for the DNR were in the Aitkin Field Office, not in Brainerd. There was one Fisheries Biologist who had a PhD that specifically focused on the lake, and 2 other large lake Specialists. This was nearly 20 years ago though.
The Aitkin office also had forestry and wildlife employees who were stationed out of that location.
I guess I was more looking for a “muskie or large pike sized chatter bait” since that was the title of this thread. Not a bass sized one that just happens to catch a sizable pike in the area by accident.
Slight confusion. No chance I am throwing a 1/4 ounce lure on my muskie tackle. Thanks for the info though, I like the chatter bait shown, just not as a specific muskie sized lure on my muskie setups.
Thanks. So you toss a 1/4 ounce chattberbait on a muskie rod/reel? How?
Good article in the Messenger about the questionable winter data being used for the modeling of Mille Lacs.
I don’t like the pricing on the chatter baits, so I make my own and do well with them.
Can you post a photo of yours?
Too bad they can’t play the White Sox for half the games this season.
Chicago may finish as the worst team in the history of MLB.
Darnold will start and play backed up by Mullins. Hall & McCarthy will get schooled and learn.
I agree, no reason to throw him into the fire in week 1. A whole season on the sidelines with a clipboard and a head set is hopefully what they do here with him this season. A 21 year old rookie would get lit up.
The Raiders have no QB left to draft now at 13. Hahahaha
JJ pass deep left to…JJ. The other JJ. 
Looks like the Vikings nabbed the next pick at 10.
Uh oh. Falcons rumored to be taking a QB with their pick…
Appreciate it
Thanks!
