Spring has officially arrived on Turtle Lake! The ice is melting and it looks like the lake will be completely open in a few days, thanks to the unseasonably warm weather we have been enjoying! This of course could mean that the fish will be spawning early, unlike the last few years when the spawning season was a few weeks later then normal. It seems like we just don't know what to expect anymore.....one year we still have ice on the lake for opening fishing day and the next year the ice has been gone for over a month! It's a good thing Turtle Lake is a fantastic year round fishing lake!
We still have a few small construction jobs to complete on the Trapper and Tower Cabins before we welcome our first guests so we are grateful for the warm weather! The warm temps have also made it possible for us to get a jump on our spring cleaning and yard work, and we may even get the docks in a month early!
In March we completed the new kitchen renovations, just in time to host our first Women's Retreat. The Retreat was a big success and we are already planning the next series and our first Girls Getaway! Plans are also underway for a Men's Retreat and an Open House.....so watch for more details.
We have confirmed that we will be filming at least one more outdoor TV show this year, a bear hunt with Dan Young, host of the "Outdoors Traditions TV Show". We are also working with a few other shows that are interested in filming another bear hunt and possibly an ice fishing show. It is all very exciting!
We will also be adding a Fishing Report to our website with weekly updates from our guides so you know what to expect before you arrive. You will find the Report on the Guide Page of our site.
Well, that just about sums up the news around here. We look forward to seeing all our old friends again and meeting all our new ones this summer!
Happy Spring & God Bless!
