Jake just got into camp today and found some ice damage on new cabin deck. Ice came off roof and sheared railing completely off. Some large animal chewed a new, big hole into the kitchen but we have had worse damage. Ice went out 6 days ago so that’s about the time we want. Water temps should stay cool and fish stay shallow for a long time although it all depends on springtime weather. We don’t have lots of changes this year except the new cabin is completed thank God. Took way too long and a real nightmare but it turned out great. Except nobody wants the old cabins now🙂. I’ll be getting into camp late due to my daughter, Samantha, graduating college. I can’t believe it, just yesterday it seems she was 7 fishing trout with me on Atikwa. Instead, last year she shot a bear. I don’t know where the years have gone. I’ll be bringing a new camp dog with me, Stormy the German Shorthair. She’s 8 months old from Idaho and a real sweet dog. I miss Dukes mellowness though. She’s a hard driving hunting dog already pointing and retrieving birds. We’ll see how many hooks I have to take out of her. Everybody drive safe and don’t leave messages on my phone, I won’t get them. Text or email please. Check fishing report and I’ll tell u what to bring early. Cheers
