Another day of yard work and another day not on the water. It was a week ago that I pulled my boat out of the water, signaling the end of another open-water fishing season for me, but it seems more like months ago.

The high temperature today was only 38 degrees -- winter comes early to the Northwoods of Minnesota. There was a wind advisory issued for Leech Lake with winds of 20-30 mph out of the west. The lake was covered in white caps. The sky was grey and it was spitting snow for most of the day.

It was a good day to stay inside, have a nice fire in the fireplace and listen to Minnesota Public Radio.

No fishing on Leech Lake.
