Some trails may be bumpy due to drifting snow and some stretches may be a bit bare due to high snowmobile volume. Snowmobilers are urged to watch their speeds while riding on trails and on frozen waters. Fishing has been spotty.
Anglers report catching many undersize fish.
Lake Ripley has produced some nice catches of bluegills as has Hope Lake. Ice shelters left on frozen waters must bear the name and address of the owner. Coyote and fox hunters are finding ideal conditions with the snow. Hunters are finding a lot of coyote and some fox in the county. Rabbit hunters are also finding snow beneficial.
