5/9/13 – Big progress! Today’s Sawbill Lake ice report: 14″.
Here is note from Sawbill Poet Laureate, Ed Dallas, who lives in north central Minnesota:
Bill,
Just to let you folks know there is light at the end of the tunnel as the ice on our little lake went out yesterday and I will be canoeing this afternoon careful to not be run over by all the ducks and loons. Now if by chance Sawbill Lake still has plenty of “hard water” to make the opener a little difficult then this haiku might be newsletter material.
opening fishing
the old dare devil skips
across the bay
Have a good one,
Ed
