This year’s ice fishing season is not all but over yet O
ne pledge to myself for 2024 was to get our tax documents ready and delivered early, and that pledge was taken seriously. So, the past week was devoted primarily to working inside at my computer. My only connection with nature had been taking the dog for walks around the block every day, and on those walks, all I could see was that the weather was warm, and the snow was melting. My assumption, an incorrect one, was that the ice fishing season was all but over. We’ve been seeing reports from Lake of the
small lakes in the area, the wet conditions had been discouraging. So, like I said, I’ve all but written off the ice fishing season. Last week, I was driving the Hippie Chick over to Coleraine, where we would celebrate her birthWoods and know that day at the Smoke on the folks are getting around Water restaurant. On the fairly well on the ice up way, I swung into the there. Some of the other landing at Trout Lake large lakes in north cenand was surprised to see tral Minnesota have vehicles driving on the enough ice for limited ice and lots of anglers vehicle travel too. So coming and going from many operators have their fishing shelters. placed restrictions about how folks can travel, that How thick and how good the ice was will remain it made me lose interest an open question to me, in fishing most of them. While I’ve been interested but it was obviously good enough for those folks in fishing more on some
who were traveling on it. Surely though, the forecast of heavy rain would put an end to that, we speculated as we ate our pizza. The next day, though, I checked the weather forecast and saw that we’re in for a week of sub-freezing temperatures. I checked the forecasts for Baudette, Bemidji, Crookston, Grand Rapids, and Garrison and don’t see much variation; they’ll all be receiving colder weather soon. Snow cover ranges from minimal to nonexistent in these areas, and that means new ice will form quickly. It’s way too soon for predictions, but by this time next
week, we could easily be talking about a significant uptick in ice fishing traffic. Historically, late February and March have been considered primetime for perch anglers. Lake of the Woods, with its extended walleye season remains popular well into the springtime, too. So, just when I thought the ice fishing season might be over, I could see a scenario playing out where the winter of 2024 goes down in history as a fabulous “half season”. Obviously only time will tell, but it might be a lot of fun finding out, stay tuned. Jeff Sundin is a full-time
professional fishing guide, outdoor writer and photographer.

What to know about RSV
American Legion Auxiliary Scholarships available
METRO CREATIVE SERVICES Winter is synonymous with the holidays, snow and, of course, the common cold. Though colds are not exclusive to winter, they tend to be more common in the colder months of the year, when people typically spend more time indoors, making it easier for cold viruses to spread from one person to another. As cold season hits full swing, it’s important to recognize that the common cold is not always behind those uncomfortable coughs and sniffles. Respiratory syncytial virus, often referred to as RSV, is a serious respiratory virus that produces symptoms similar to those associated with the common cold. Some basic knowledge of RSV can ensure people seek the treatment they need to overcome it.
summer 2021. Though that spike was likely due to a relaxation of coronavirus restrictions, it underscores that RSV can strike in summer, even if it’s less likely to spread during times of year when people tend to spend more time outdoors. What are the symptoms of RSV? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that people infected with RSV typically exhibit symptoms within four to six days of infection. Such symptoms, which usually appear in stages and not all at once, may include: • Runny nose • Decrease in appetite • Coughing • Sneezing • Fever • Wheezing
How is RSV managed?
The CDC notes that antiviral medication is not typically part of a treatment for RSV, as most infections go away within a week or two without intervention. Symptoms such as fever and pain can be managed with over-the-counter fever reducers and pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen (the CDC notes that aspirin should never be given to children). Drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and speaking with a physician prior to taking something or giving a child something to treat RSV is recommended.
BEMIDJI — Area high school seniors and college students are encouraged to apply for American Legion Auxiliary Scholarships.
