The pussy willows are blooming! Yesterday we saw two (stupid?) butterflies! The lake ice is turning black and there are air holes with open water popping through! Yesterday in the middle of our bay there was only 18 inches of ice. The ice is honeycombed and very weak. I've decided that solo trips out on the ice this month are over for this fisherman.
Last year the ice was off Poplar Lake on May 8th. The year before the ice was gone on May 10th. From the looks of things outside it is hard to believe that we will have ice on Poplar Lake beyond April 20th. If the ice leaves early we should have some great Lake Trout fishing in May.

I guess spring is arriving early on the Gunflint and in the BWCA?
