Bob and I always get excited on the first day of Spring . We always feel better when we know we are on the other side of the equinox and it happened yesterday morning. It was a rather gloomy day yesterday and then around noon the snow started. This is not fair really but you know what, we felt better when we realized it would only last a few days or weeks not months now and the water will turn soft again and we can get out to Whitefish Bay Camp on Clavert Island. Time to begin going through the tackle boxes and find our barbless hooks for early fishing until Walleye season opens the third Saturday in May…the 16th this year.

The fishing should be wonderful this Spring as is usual. The Crappie, Northern Pike, Bass and Lake Trout will be first of course followed by Walleye later in May and Muskie in June. There is nothing better than that first meal of fresh fish out of the cold, clear water of Whitefish Bay of Lake of the Woods. We usually lightly fry the crappie and northern with a thin crusty coat on the fillets and serve it with a dinner salad for supper or with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Our favorite preparation of Lake Trout is to grill it. A good friend,Keith Gates, gave us a recipe some years ago using Miracle Whip,seasonings,sliced onions, green peppers and mushrooms with some cheese on the top! Makes my mouth water just to think of it. Tell you what, come on up and join us at Whitefish Bay Camp and we’ll give you the details of that recipe!

We have one Sport Show left for this year. The Minnesota Muskie Expo which is renamed George’s Minnesota Muskie Expo in honor of a dear friend, George Wahl, who started the show years ago. It is in a new location this year, being held at Concordia College just off of I94 on Hamlin Avenue in St.Paul. The dates are April 3rd through the 5th. We will be in Booth 309. Come see us and make your reservations for a trip to Sunset Country in Ontario,Canada this season! If you can’t get to the show then call us at our toll-free number 877-226-1211 or e-mail us at info@whitefishbaycamp.com
