Pete:

To mention a few names: I heard that lake seventeen SW of town was open last Sat. Katherine opened up partially two nights ago and only saw a little ice on it on the way back tot town after turkey hunting this morning. Clausen, very small lake on the way into town opened and the west side of Minocqua, especially west of the island across from Save-More was getting worked over pretty good yesterday by the wind.

Once I get my bird (thinking positively), I hope to take a little time out by the Rainbow to see what is happening out there. I heard it was coming up, but haven't heard anything about the bridge work being done out there, so I am skeptical of that report... I am betting that the Willow is looking fairly open at this time also.
