Browsing Wildlife, Information & Events around Lake Poinsett

When trying to identify a pair of ducks that Bob & I saw when we were out fishing the other night, I found this cool website.   I liked it because you could type in different identifying aspects of each species of plants, animals and birds.  http://www.enature.com/fieldguides/search_advanced.asp  I still don't know what kind of bird/duck we saw, but it was fun browsing.
Speaking of browsing, if you're looking for information and events around Lake Poinsett, visit the Lake Association's website: http://lpada.com/index.html or pick up the WELCOME TO LAKE POINSETT out this week published by Hamlin County Publishing http://www.hamlincountypublishing.com/

Nice Catch! Walleye taken from Lake Norden last night.

Everything's shaping up for a fantastic long weekend!

Everything's shaping up for a fantastic long weekend to kick off the best summer at the lake!  With the water level up, the fishing has been extraordinary.  The water is crystal clear and no report of weeds yet.  Today, it's so dark blue with a few white waves appearing to add to the beauty.  The water has actually gone down some, even when the wind is blowing towards shore, it doesn't feel so threatening.  Another foot or so down would be perfect so we got room for plenty of evaporation during the summer.  Reports of "fishing from the DECK", are becoming the thing to do for some.  Others are having success fishing from the DOCK.  Silver Bass and Northern Pike are keeping the up the action when the Small Mouth Bass and Walleye are being fickle.
Hope you all get out and enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend while remembering those we honor.

Timely tune for MEMORIAL DAY weekend sung by SheDaisy

Just listened to SheDaisy sing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic".  It gave me goose bumps.  Link will take you to free Yahoo music. http://new.music.yahoo.com/shedaisy/tracks/battle-hymn-of-the-republic--22252335

Tidbits

Last night, Don told me that his favorite site is ACU weather because they even predict the wind speed.  So you'll notice it to the left of this entry and it's already showing Arlington's weather.  Play around with it and it might become your favorite, too.

Supper specials at LAKEVIEW

Bob & I were in Duluth, MN this last week.  Weather was about the same as here.  Had a great day for traveling home, Friday. Got back in time for work. 
Very busy nights at the resort for suppers.  Friday's fish fry has grown in popularity.  Saturday night is now not only prime rib night, but the country-style, BBQ ribs are back for the summer.
