WE ARE IN FULL FALL COLORS NOW, IN MANY AREAS AFTER SEVERAL NIGHTS IN THE 2O DEGREE RANGE, OUR TREES, FOR THE MOST PART, HAVE TAKEN ON THAT BEAUTIFUL FALL COLOR PATTERN WE LOVE SO MUCH.

A FEW FISH PICTURES HAVE BEEN SENT IN FROM LATE SUMMER CATCHES. A BIG WALLEYE AND A BIG PERCH WERE SENT IN BY RELATIVES ON LONG LAKE. LIKE THIS FELLOW SAID, THIS IS ENOUGH FOR DINNER FOR ME.

WE HAVE HAD SOME SLEET, A TINY BIT OF EARLY MORNING SNOW FLURRIES, AND LOT’S OF FROST. THIS IS COOLING DOWN THE WATER FOR SURE. MAYBE WE’LL SEE AN EARLY WINTER ICE SEASON. NOW WOULDN’T THAT BE GREAT ?

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU SPORTSMEN AND LADIES WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRIVATE STOCKING OF WALLEYE IN LONG LAKE THIS FALL. WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND COMPLIMENTS. MOST OF YOU REALIZE THAT WE CANNOT KEEP TAKING BIG FISH FROM ANY LAKE WITHOUT HELPING THAT LAKE TO REPLENISH IT’S STOCK. AND OF COURSE THERE WILL BE WALLEYE OF ALL SIZES FOUND IN A HEALTHY LAKE. THE AMOUNT OF LEGAL FISH WE SAW AT THIS STORE ALL SUMMER WAS EXTREMELY ENCOURAGING. YOU KNOW AND WE KNOW, THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT THE LAKE, AND IT’S FUTURE.

WE ARE STILL CLOSED FOR OUR FALL BREAK, BUT THE WEEKS ARE CLICKING OFF FAST. WE’LL SEE YOU NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 28. AND YES, WE ARE PLANNING AN ICE TOURNAMENT. WE’VE HAD A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR THAT, AND WE WON’T LET YOU DOWN. WE JUST DON’T KNOW WHEN YET.

HAVE A GREAT FALL BREAK, AND THANKSGIVING.

BUDD AND LORIE
