Mother's Day


Spent Mother's Day fishing at the lake with a 4 year old, his very pregnant momma, and his beloved aunt.  The temperature was in the low 70s, light breeze, bright sun, very few bugs--a perfect day in The Land of 10,000+ Lakes.


The lake was posted for invasive species.

Help stop aquatic hitchhikers! To avoid spreading aquatic invasive species before launching your boat and before leaving the water access you must: clean off aquatic plants and animals, drain lake or river water away from the landing, and dispose of unwanted bait in the trash. It’s the law. You may not transport aquatic plants, zebra mussels, or other prohibited invasive species. You may not launch watercraft or place a trailer in the water if it has aquatic plants, zebra mussels, or other prohibited invasive species attached. You may not transport watercraft without draining water, removing the drain plug, and leaving all water-draining devices open.Sign 1 says Help stop aquatic hitchhikers!

Just a bit of trivia: Earthworms are NOT native to Minnesota. They are actually considered an invasive species.
