The mosquitos up here in Manitowish are thick this year. Funny thing is that we are really in a drought, I have heard that it's got something to do with the snowmelt and the fact that the last few years they haven't been real bad. We have had some really nice warm weather as well and luckily a...

I know it's a Holiday Weekend and hope it's a safe and enjoyable one for all but wanted to say thanks to all of our veterans who fought for the freedom of our country. My dad was in WW2 and he flew behind the lines into Germany to deliver and pick up spies as they called them back in the day, he...

Sitting on the pier on Satuday around 4pm and this situation developed. Two muskies, a male and a female swam under the pier in their mating ritual, apparently the male aggressively rubs, bumps, and nips at the female until she drops her eggs and this is what he was doing in these series of...

Got a late start today, on the water at 1pm and in by 5pm. About 20 jumbo perch, 10-12" size, have not seen perch like this in years. Six walleyes, only two were keepers at around 16". Would have stayed out longer but had to come in otherwise I think we would have pulled in some more decent...

Just watching the pictures from that catastrophe, man, what a frightening experience. Hope no one was involved in it, thoughts and prayers to those who lost loved ones.

Maybe I missed it?

7" in Manitowish Waters this morning, heavy wet, tree branch sagging snow.

Had to get my sled ready to load it up next week after I dig my trailer out so I decided to run some fire roads and screw around in the woods for awhile right around my place. Man, the snow is still 2-3ft deep in the woods and you can ride on top of it but every once in awhile you break through...

A cruel April Fools Joke, 11" of snow overnight here in Manitowish Waters. Minocqua area reporting 16", hard to measure because it was blowing real good during this storm and still is.

Happy Friday, Last day of the season here in Vilas County. 2-3" of heavy wet snow should make the trails ready for one last day of riding until midnight tonight. I'm done for the year but there is a winter storm watch for tonight into Saturday for 7-14' of snow, kinda of sick of it at this...

Took a little ride this morning and met up with a fellow JD (Jerry and his buds) up in Mercer for breakfast at the Great Northern which appears to be the olny place open for breakfast in Mercer right now. Left Mercer and Jerry and his crew headed back to MW as they had to pack up and leave. I...

Another 2" here overnight in MW. That give us 4" of new from this blockbuster event, will keep the trails nice until it warms up later in the week, maybe another ride Tuesday? To the north and NW of us they did get a lot more, up by Hurley over a foot. And it's 10 degrees this morning so...

Happy St. Patty's Day! 2" of snow overnight in MW Area and it's currently 19 degrees. Light snow at the moment, calling for 1" during the day and 4" Friday night. Trails should be OK now with 2" of fresh, if we get 4" tonight Saturday should be good to go. Ride on! and Ride right!

Starting to snow in Manitowish Waters at 8pm. Today was ugly, rainy and 38 degrees.

The morning started out with a cold temp of -17 at 7am. So, I waited until noon to take a ride today, my ride took me from Manitowish Waters over to BJ, quick stop for some gas, all trails into BJ and the gas station were great, snow on all the roads, only rough spot was Trail#2 just west of...

It was -17 at 7am this morning in Manitowish Waters, supposed to be a high of 32 and full sun (that will be a 49 degree temperature swing!) It's been awhile since I've seen this much snow on the ground on March 14th with another storm looming for Friday. Riding can't get much better up here but...

I figured someone here has a link to a site that can give accurate totals so far this season. Thanks!
