It's hard to believe it would have froze out. Maybe your relatives fish like you?    :rotflmao:

by that you mean we caught them all  :scratch: :rotflmao: :rotflmao in all seriousness It really doesn't surprise me. I've expected this sooner or later. From the first years we fished the lake till now  the water level has dropped 10 ft. There's no inlet or outlet. No known springs unless it's in the boggy areas and there is plenty of that.

That does stink Glenn,  I have a hard time thinking it's not naturally fed by springs or creeks,  but if you say it lost that much water you've been on barrowed time for catching fish. We had a real bad bug hatch last Friday , the bro is still out there and the fishing just dropped off. Spose your bro didn't see a bug hatch that away.. By the way do all winter kill fish float to the shore ?? Or do they sink sometimes??

   :bonk: :bs: :tut: :tut: :tut: :mooning: :mooning: :mooning: :taz: :taz: With the water that low, full of weeds, & all that snow could've killed off all the weeds using up all the oxygen especially with no moving water. Still hard to believe that there wouldn't be some dead fish floating & on shore, if you ask me. As far as if it smelled or not, it probably did but he was extra gassy from all those MGL's the night before :toast: & just couldn't tell. ;) :rotflmao: :nerd:

got off the phone with a fisheries guy from the grand rapids office. they had not recieved a freeze out report as of yet. he yapped about it being a partial freeze out  :blablabla: :blablabla: :blablabla: and taking a wait and see attitude. it was a good conversation, they are going to be up on whitefish this summer so they will be checking the lake out. he did the creel survey on that lake about 10 years ago he said, so.............they were going to check it out. i got the impression if its not a totall freeze out they were going to let it replenish by itself. i will keep in touch with this guy!!!!!!

Yeah, it's good to know somebody like that. I've had 2 or 3 talks & a few email exchanges with the biologist who manages Sand. He's a good guy, likes what he's doing, & goes out his way to answer any questions people might have :cool:. Like most of them.

Did a little research & found they only have 7 people listed for that office, thought there'd be more than that. :scratch: Maybe that's only the ones who have an office there? Must've been Doyle Hass who got a hold of you? I see that it's the same phone #(328-8836) for everyone working there. Did he call you on his cell? I got his e-mail address off that offices index web page & it's doyle.hass@state.mn.us. In case you don't already have it & want ot use it some time.

mom called me today. guess she was at the cabin wed and Thursday. we actually got an electrician to come out and do something. :dancinred: :dancinred: :happy1: he is a googleye with a Marcell address. we haven't heard if he is done, guess i'll find out the weekend of the 22th. i'm headed that way come hell or high water.

he ran into a lot of rock with his trencher...…… yea no sheet!!!!!!! :bonk: :bonk: so he has to lay the wiring from the cabin to the shed in conduit.

Gunner...……...how bad are the bugs??? one of the stewards wife has a bug reciepe I plan on using.
for 2 gallons of water they add 2 bottles of mouthwash, preferable a mint flavor, add some Epsom salt, apparently it helps mix the mouth wash and sprays it. he claims the flies and skeeters hate it.

Your not going to like it!  :thumbs: :pouty: Anywhere where there's long wet grass or out of the wind a little you have to keep moving or they'll try to carry you away.  :sad: I'd probably make the 2 gallons to use on 1/2 your lot that way you might kill 1/2 of 'em.  :bs: :bonk: :surrender:
