Gotta love the mallards that stick around Minnesota in the wintertime.  They sure are pretty. Check out this youtube video I posted.

Cherokee, there is a pond not far from my house that never freezes during the winter.  I drove past it on Friday and it is COVERED in mallards.  There must be over 1000 ducks sitting in this small pond.  I also saw a ton of geese on a golf course yesterday, as a lot of grass is now becoming exposed, providing a food source.  There must be a sizable population of geese and ducks that don't even migrate anymore.

I believe so.  A lot of the mallards have found bird feeders and it's been a yearly thing with flocks circling and landing in yards.

Do the mallards winter over the entire winter? Any other kind of ducks use it?

      I’m finding having the plow is becoming pretty important for mobility with the big house again this year.  Been nice the past couple to not have to worry about it.

      Well, this one is only about a 1/4 the size of the one down in the cities.  And if you don't have $12,000 to $120,000 to buy a ATV, boat or camper. For the $10 to get in and $3.50 to park.  It can be fun to have a hotdog, snag some freebie pens, cozies and candy and watch the kids fish!   😉

      I'll have to say I was getting a little bummed out watching the kids fish the pond at the show yesterday. One little kid with his dad hooked 3 fish and never got a one in! One teen girl had probably the biggest in the tank on and it broke her off!  With the smooth barbless hooks and the Walmart 1lb line. It's freeking worst then a carnival game on the midway!  Great way to get kids involved! 😒

      Back in the 70s when a bunch of us early teenagers would go to the SportShow, we figured out the flies never got down to the trout with all the moving water. A little split shot solved that problem. 😆

      Nice looking pictures. Makes me want to jump on the snowmobile.

      Friday was a beautiful day on Vermilion.  The fresh snow and high winds made pretty drifts on the lake, as long as you weren't trying to travel off plowed roads.  Watched a large 4x4 truck travel off road and it hit some very large drifts, but didn't get stuck.  Not too many houses were left but many new ones were being pulled out onto the lake for the weekend.  Was a nice view at dark seeing all the lights on the lake.   Fishing was average.  I had to shovel snow off of our mobile home roof so I didn't get out until 10am.  Was a decent bite at 11am, and then from 330-415pm, but other than that it was very quiet for me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food finally had shiners so I tried those and caught most of my fish on them.   Good luck fishing, be very courteous if you use plowed roads, and be careful if you travel off road.

      We went from no snow to enough quickly. I will have to go check out the lakes with updates on which ones have plowed roads around. Be safe and bring a shovel.

      Last Friday, it was still pretty busy for a week day.   I've gotten a few out of there over the years.

      A few years ago when my son and wife came over to watch the game!
