Waking up this morning to 15 below zero made us realize that wither still has a firm grip on us. But with temperatures expected to reach 30 degrees by Thursday there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel and it will not be long until the busy 'soft water' season is upon us. February is one of our favorite winter months because the days are getting longer and it is a great time to go skiing, snowshoeing or better yet - ice fishing.
Speaking of ice fishing, Jim and Gavin spent Saturday on Burntside Lake chasing lake trout during the 7th Annual Burntside Bash. They had a few lookers and chasers, but were unsuccessful at icing any fork tails. Thursday we plan to head into a remote lake to catch some splake and brook trout. Should be fun and we will post the results.
February is also the month to start 2009 remodeling projects. Jim is about to begin the gutting process in Bear Paw cabin. Everything has been emptied out of the cabin and the next step would be ripping the 70's wood paneling and kitchen cabinets out. This is the last of the original and final lakeside cabin to be remodeled and then it's back to putting new steel roofs on 2 cabins and the lodge. Lots of work and never ending projects.
