Well, the pictures are showing quite a bit of ice on this Mother’s Day, 2014. To put it into perspective here’s last year’s Mother’s day imagery… and a link to the Mother’s Day blog post from last year…
So we see that last year the ice had already started moving around, and probably half as much ice. What does it mean? Good question. Tomorrow we have rain predicted and if the ice starts moving with some good wind a lot can happen. In the meantime, the long range weather shows some great weather for the whole opening week. Worse case scenario, some smaller lakes may keep us occupied till the main lake opens up. Alternatively, horse shoes, beer drinking, no bugs, and sunshine. Then there’s the lake trout….opening week for sure!
On behalf of the Boyes Group, I would like to pass on our sincere thanks for hosting the Muskie Madness Week and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at VBL and had a great time!! This was our 7th year on Eagle Lake and we have stayed at a few other lodges but VBL takes the cake hands down! You can definitely count us in for next year. I’m happy to see you post some of my pics, they turned out well. Thanks again Gord for a wonderful week of fishing and your stellar hospitality, you run a first class operation, we look forward to seeing you next year!
