Open house scheduled for Sept. 19

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites the public to comment – either in person or online – on a draft master plan for the James L. Oberstar State Trail. 

The DNR is hosting an open house Tuesday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Pine County Courthouse Board Room, 635 Northridge Drive NW, Pine City, MN 55063.

Anyone with an interest in the future of this trail is encouraged to attend. DNR staff will be available to answer questions about the trail planning process and receive comments on the draft master plan. Master plans guide the development, management, and operation of state trails to provide quality recreational opportunities. The plan must be completed and approved before any funds can be used for state trail construction.

The James L. Oberstar State Trail is a segment of the Willard Munger State Trail system in Chisago and Pine counties. A specific route and total mileage have not been established for the trail, but upon completion, the trail will offer connections to communities, recreational hubs, and scenic resources of the St. Croix Valley.

Potential trail uses include bicycling, walking/hiking, jogging/running, dog walking, in-line skating/roller skiing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, hunting, natural resource education/interpretation and water access.

A copy of the draft master plan is available online at www.mndnr.gov.

Those unable to review and comment on the draft master plan at the open house meeting.

Public comments will be accepted through Monday, Oct. 2.

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒

      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish

      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too

      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭

      That was a better study compared to last winter when they setup the vertical tube nets and tried to release exhausted fish from being studied and expected them to be able to swim straight down a 3' hoop net.     That lake's crappie population from this latest video was pretty deep at 40-50', and no doubt from those depths that is barotrauma for most.  That is deeper than most crappie holes but certainly how some are. However from helping give fish a good release from the 35' and less range and tracking them with live sonar most of them swim at a shallow angle back to the depths and I watch them rejoin the school and be active.  Uncut Angling's video helped counter some of the initial narrow findings.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.
