The ice on Red Lake is looking very black.  The sun has been very intense for the last few days and the ice is melting rapidly.cWe will have an early ice out, so fishing should be fantastic for the last week in May and the first two weeks in June…

As per usual we have the April 15 picture of our bay.  The snow is all gone. The ice seems to be melting everywhere all at once. Normally our shallow bay will open long before the main part of the lake. We should be ice free in less than two weeks if…

The ice is melting fast and appears to be going everywhere all at once. We plan to pull the airplane off the ice and wait for open water in Howey Bay. 

The photo show the airplanes at Red Lake Seaplane ready to go.  

The weather in Red Lake has been quite warm and the snow is melting. Ryan has been taking advantage of the nice weather with fishing and helping his friend Brett haul fuel. If this weather holds we should have a very early breakup.

Ryan is attending the All Canada sport show at Pheasant Run in Chicago. He will be in Green Bay next weekend. 

At 8 this morning the temperature was 20 below. Howey bay is now definitely frozen. The photo was taken from the road up behind Green Airways, looking east.

Howey Bay is still open water. The photo is our airplane in a line of seven airplanes stored for the winter at Howey Bay Camps.

Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you are spending this time with family and friends. The photo is our bay this morning. The temperature is just barely below freezing and the water in the bay is not warm enough to melt the snow that falls into it.

We have been away visiting family in British Columbia. On our return, we found the Tamaracks had lost their needles and there were two big trees down in the parking area by the dock. No damage but it took us all morning to cut up the trees and haul them away.
