Paquette's Camp Update May 12th 2014

Looks like Spring may be here, the ice will be totally off the lake in a couple of days, all the ducks, loons and most of the spring birdsare back! It has ben quite a spring to try to get things opened up around the Camp, When I went to hook up some of the water today I found out that the well was frozen, with some hot water and a few choice words I was able to thaw it and get the water running in the showerhouse. I will try getting water hooked up other place as the week progresses.

The road has been an ongoing concern this spring , it has washed out a couple times due to frozen culverts and may go again tomorrow if we get any amount of rain, but the muddy parts have gotten much better.

Of course by the end of the week it is supposed to be in the low 40's, sounds like great weather for opening of Walleye season, too cold to fish and cold enough that the Walleye have not spawned yet.
Hopefully it will warm up fast now, and the fish will bite.

I will be opening in about a week for another season. Hope to see you soon.
