Finally we got some gardening weather this past week. I got pretty much caught up with that now, only about a month behind this year. Calhoun and Harriet here deep in the Twin Cities finally flushed the last ice out over night last night and water levels have recovered very well with the April snows.

Crappies and sunnies are biting in the channels and in their sunning areas. A quick test outing on the way home from work last evening took three crappies, all over 10" with the biggest easily over 13 in about 10 minutes. A friend hit the same spot a little later last evening with similar response. Finally we have spring, up in the North Country Fair, and the bite is on.

I haven't had time for much fishing so far this year, but I will be out this evening!
