My Uncle lives on Stuart and lost a big tree as well. sounds like the narrows bewteen the two lakes got hit hard as well.

I think the brunt of the storm was from the OT Campground to BalMoral - hundreds of trees down, docks mangled and boats overturned. Been without power most of the day. I'm sure anybody with some free time and a chain saw would be more than welcome.

Holy cow. I had no idea there was a storm this bad.
I called my Dad tonight to ask if he had heard from anyone on East Battle about damage to our place. He said he hadn't heard anything, but is gonna be calling people to see what may have happened around the north shore.

Wow! That was some storm that rolled through just before 4am. Looks like we caught the southern edge of it on South Turtle.

I hope everyone came through it okay.

Wind hit pretty good around Johnson, Long Lk. area and around Stalker too. Trees down,flag poles, a big jungle gym blew over and I guess there was damage at the new golf course on the west end of Stalker Lk. I think it wrecked a couple boat canopies too.

Dad called north, and the north shore of East Battle got it too.
We have one tree down. Missed the pole barn luckily. Neighbor has a big oak on their cabin. Sounds like a lot of people with trees down.
Grandpa went down to the farm south of Vining, and said a tree was across the Minimum-maintenance road going into the property, so no idea how bad it may be up in there.
Crud.

The storm took down a couple trees at my place, and that's all I can see so far. I helped a friend remove trees near Balmoral last night, and this area was hit the hardest. Definite straightline winds. I think the golf course lost 200+ trees??

Juice - You are gonna new a work crew to bail out that blue boat, LOL. Last time I tried to move it a bit I dang near got a hernia.

ChuckN - That's a shame about Balmoral. Lots of wonderful oaks on that course. I wonder if the big snaggly cottonwood that guards the 18th green survived?

The dang water level on S. Turtle shot right back up. It is only a 1/4 inch below the high point from this year, and is 9.5 inches above the low point that was on May 5.

I saw Balmoral on the news last night.
What a bummer. It looked awful.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!
