Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!  I am looking forward to another great year on Lake Ida.  The snow is covering the ground and the lake is frozen.  Fish houses are scattered like snow flakes on the lake.  I would love to add your Winter Ice Fishing pictures to my blog.  Please email them to me.

While we are all snuggled up next to our fireplaces (or your heater in your fish house) now is the time to consider making that purchase on the lake.  There are still great deals out there to grab while interest rates are still historically low.

Stay warm, enjoy ice fishing, sledding and all that our great Lake has to offer.

Another Beautiful day On Lake Ida

Even though our calendars tell s it's the middle of October, it feels like September.  There are still amazing colors on the trees and fish to catch!  Get out and enjoy the sunshine & our lake!

Full Moon On The Lake

There is nothing more peaceful & romantic then being on the lake during a full moon.  Last night was no exception as we took the boat out around 7pm, got in some fishing & floated on the lake enjoying the full moon as the moon beam lit up our lake.  We can really enjoy about 4 full moons on the lake during the summer months.  There was a nice breeze which kept the bugs away & made it even more enjoyable.

So may I suggest during the next full moon, stop your busy life and sit on the lake and enjoy the peacefulness & beauty.  Ths Winter we will all be dreaming about nights like we have right now.  Enjoy!
