Fresh Powder...

Goodmorning Dunrovin Fans!  We ended up getting about 8-9" of fresh powder!  We had some new to Dunrovin snowmobiliers in this weekend, they said that our trails are in alot better condition than where they normally go. :-)   There's not as much traffic, our main traffic is fishermen, because of the lake!  So I would like to encourage snowmobilers to consider the Blackduck area, for their next trip!  Fishing slowed down a bit again with the storm front pushing through.  People were fishing in 10-12 fow, the walleye seemed to bite best around 5pm.  There was a real nice 30" northern caught during the day.  Larry will continue to plow the roads out to the best spots on the lake.  I gotta say, he's got his work cut out for him today! :-)

Fish & Snow update

Well, Snowmobilers have having a blast with all this snow!  We ended up getting another 3 good inches yesterday! The trails are groomed right out side our door!  We are closely watching Sunday's storm.  Right now they are predicting 8-12" for us!  With another potential big storm the Feb 16th, but that's a way off yet.  Fishing slowed down quite a bit with this last cold front that pushed through, but on the flip side, our ice is in great shape!  We did have some of our guys get a couple walleye & 1 huge crappie!  They couldnt get over the size!  Most people are still fishing in 10-12 fow, they are using just about every kind of lure & bait to get the fish to bite.  Hopefully this weekend we'll have some great pics of more fish! Happy Trails & Happy Fishin'!

Snowmobilers Delight!

Hello Fishermen & Snowmobilers!
Well, we ended up getting about 8" of wonderful snow out of this last storm. For our snowmobilers, this is great news! As the trails are ripe for riding! For our fishermen, Larry has started plowing out roads to get ya to the best fishing spots!
Fishing: We have had some people in our sleeper houses that are doing pretty good. They have been catching a variety of fish. But we were pleased to hear this morning that the walleyes have been biting in the evening. There's also been some jumbo perch along with some big northerns. They've been in 9-12 fow. They are reporting about 2 feet of ice.

Beautiful Crappies!

Kris Rathcke and his Dad got on some 15" crappies today!

Cabin 2's great weekend!

28" Northern

                                                          1/2 day's catch

                                          Is there a Prize for the smallest fish!?!

Well, Larry just got done drilling holes to measure the ice... There's 12-14" of good solid ice.  Closer to shore it's 12 & out further its 14".  People have started driving out cars, jeeps, and 1/2 ton trucks.  We have about 2-3" of snow, so people are able to get around easily.  The perch bite has been steady in about 10' of water.  We are also seeing some at 15-18' as well.  Some of our guests said they missed a few walleye this morning.  Most people are using a jig and a minnow, with some dead sticking.  The weather seems to be holding steady for the next week or more so the bite should continue to be pretty good. 

Ice update... Blackduck still has about 10-11" of ice.  We havent' made any real progress on thickness this week, but at least we've held steady!  We were hoping to be driving out trucks this weekend, but we are NOT recommending it at this point!  Fishing has also stayed the same, with perch, northerns & a few walleye being caught during daylight hours, the bite has pretty much shut down at night, but you never know, that could change anytime!
