Greetings and welcome!
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! The weekend is finally here!
Today the ATV trails open, tomorrow fishing opens, and the weather forecast still looks like a great one!
-Fire danger- Yesterday the DNR moved the fire danger to Very High, only one step from the top level- Extreme. Their web site said that all open burning has been prohibited. While strongly discouraged, you can still have a campfire for cooking or warming.
When I went by the DNR station in Wausaukee yesterday the fire crews had the trucks out, the bulldozer was loaded, and they were dressed in turnout gear. I’d say that it is serious.
I saw my first wood tick the other day. I had it coming making firewood and working in tall grass, but it was a landmark. Guys that work in the woods said that they had them a few weeks ago. I am guessing that the dry conditions are keeping them in check at least a little, I only had that one.
Fishing should be better than average for opening day tomorrow. The water temperatures are well ahead of normal. When I was outside yesterday afternoon the moon looked like it was about 7/8 full, another good sign. Good luck anglers!
Time to make the donuts..
Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting!
