Don&#8217;t ask me why I was inspired to write about it now, I couldn&#8217;t tell you, but here&#8217;s the story, my adventures ice fishing on Lake Bemidji. &#160;]]></description>

And it&#8217;s hard for me to read about inlets, ponds, fish, shore birds, boats&#8230; without wanting to be on the water. Fortunately, living only about 2 miles from the south [...]]]></description>
