I live in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada and my family runs a float plane service, outposts and a lodge. This is more than a business; it is a life style.
Every year, every season, every day brings something new. I try to blog about life our way.

Howey Bay - the morning of April 16th!

This is a picture of Howey Bay this morning. It is amazing to see the ice breaking up so early in the spring. This is sure to be one of the earliest break-ups in history. It will be interesting to see how different the fishing is this summer...the fish have a month head-start.
This week's forecast is for warm temperatures, sun and wind. So, the ice should be gone in no time! People are starting to worry about haw this weather will affect forest fires in the region. Harriet plans of working for the Ministry of Natural Resources this summer, fighting forest fires. She may have a busy summer!

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
