The first weekend of May was just great in the Oak Point Area of Leech Lake. Great tempratures, beautiful blue skies and plenty of visitors. Some of the seasonal residents and weekend crews were putting in dock, lifts and boats getting ready for the "opener" which will be next Saturday the 9th.
We saw our first wild flowers of the season called Anemone, white with a yellow center, poking through some dead leaves in the woods. Some trees along the roadways are starting to have green shoots poking through. My wife and I saw a porcupine high in a birch tree eating away on the tender shoots. Sure sign of spring was the finding of my first "Tick" while walking in the woods on some of our lots.
There will be plenty of families planning their first outting for next weekend which should be considered Minnesota Fishing Holiday. Traffic will be heavy, bait shope full of stories and suggested "hot spots". Great family get together.
