Short but Sweet, Gone Two More Weeks





Well, as the “Dog Days” of summer have been hitting us at Wine Lake, the people and the fishing have been just as hot!  Following the weather, we have seen the US shrouded in intense heat.  We have been lucky, and avoided most of it.  However, the last couple weeks have brought some of the higher temperatures you all have had for months.  We had our first day that hit 90 degrees, and have had several in the 80’s.  The good news for us is that our evenings have still been relatively cool and we even had one-day last week that was a high of 67 degrees.  Our rain for the last 2 weeks is almost non existent as well.  With the warmer temperatures many have taken to the lake for cooling off- even the Deer.



It was so warm Even Doc got into the mix with Hawaiian Night

Once again fishing was outstanding as the past two tournament winners and others can attest






Most were eating fish nightly and making sure to count correctly as for the 2nd time in 3 weeks the MNR paid Wine Lake a visit


As with most summers when the heat comes people start getting a little wacky (think the heat gets too them

But like many things Ice Cream seems to help cool everyone off

and settle everyone down a bit

Some groups decided it was a perfect week to enjoy a shore lunch and take in the view of the south end of Wine Lake
As the weeks continue to fly by and I get to meet all the amazing people who enjoy being at Wine Lake I try to stop and think how lucky I am to be here to help all of the people enjoy themselves and unwind from their daily lives.  Each week this year I have had the pleasure of meeting a new group of strangers and see them leave as friends.  It is the magic of the place that brings us all together.
#guys not real happy they have to go home!
