It’s starting to be that time!

So, full disclosure.... This picture is from last year. But...
Water temperatures have increased significantly. Sturgeon are starting to be seen in the spawning areas and on the cams. No spawning activity has been observed as of yet, but there is a good chance, with the warmer weather projected this week, that the spawn may begin in some areas before the weekend. Stay tuned!!!

Thank you Triatik’s Tree Service for the help this morning!

The end of the season doesn’t mean the end of the work. There are always loose ends to tie up, and one big one is the handling of the left over Christmas trees. We have a great community that supplies (sometimes oversupplies) us with Christmas trees to mark the roads, bridges, problematic areas, etc. We bring as many of these as we can back and then need to process them. This is usually an arduous burning operation

This year Matt, of Triatik’s Tree Service, came down to chip these up for us. This means these will be repurposed a third time, as decorative wood chips. Matt has been a long time supporter of our club and we thank him greatly for that support throughout the years. If you need tree work done whether that’s trimming, removals, land clearing, storm cleanup, or anything at all please consider working with his family-owned business!
