The snow is melting but when will the ice be gone?

This is the time of the year when I get a lot of calls asking when the ice will be off the lakes. Hopefully by Fishing Opener is all I can tell you right now. I do know that North and South Brule rivers, which cross the Gunflint Trail are both running. This picture is from South Brule. I'll keep you posted at the ice melts.
