If you are a Tuesday men's league golfer, you might be miffed at the recent spate of rainy Tuesdays in the Mille Lacs area. By 8 am today, we've already received 1.5 inches of rain here on the Big Pond and it's coming down in sheets yet. It rained so hard and so long last Tuesday into Wednesday that Izatys shut down Blackbrook Golf Course due to overland flooding which quickly receded and did no real damage.
On a positive note the recent rains have kept the Mille Lacs lake levels up, kept the water temperature of the lake right around 66 degrees (cool nights have helped). It's also given sprinklers a rest and kept lawn mowers busy trying to keep up with the unusual late July growing green grass.
OTHER NOTES:
Garrison Play Days
It's is Garrison Play Days this weekend. There are a ton of neat events, including a Taste of Garrison, raffle for 4 wheeler, various team sporting events and beer gardens. Go to garrisonmn.com for more information and an hour-by-hour preview of the weekend.
Fishing Update
I talked with Bill Lundeen who owns Lundeen's Tackle Castle and manages Walleye World at Izatys on Monday afternoon. He said the bite has been hit and miss. He had a group out the other day and got 10 keepers. He has mostly been slip bobbering but indicated he will be trying spinner baits with crawlers soon.
The weekend weather at Mille Lacs hasn't been the kindest for area businesses with windy, cool and rain recently. While the number isn't exact, sport fisherman have harvested about 87000 pounds of walleye from the lake according to DNR estimates to this point. Coupled with a tribal record harvest of 100,000 pounds earlier, anglers are not even near the record 2007 season.
