Truethfuly the name does not ring any bells....
Lots of lakes up here, lots and lots.....
I don't fish much.
I put about as much time with a line in the water going downtown and fishing in Ramsey as any place else.
Tyson is about 30 minuts up hw 69 from my house ( I live out in the south end ) and thats for those serious afternoons when Jr wants to try and hook some largemouth or rod bending sport fish.
I like the ones that clean easy and fry that afternoon.
I'm not fussy lol.
Best fishing is the Laurentian conservation area lol.
Just don't get caught HA.
All BS aside I used to take Jr there a lot because you could hook a 20 pound northern Pike on a bottle cap every second cast and hook if you were so inclined.
Then throw them back so you don't feel guilty about it.
I like fish.
Fish is brain food but I tried to raise my boy to uinderstand its a finite resource and you should ponly take home a belly full ( better the small ones )
and toss the rest back.

We don't have ice racing here in Oregon, but we have lots of places to ride dirt bikes. My pals and I have raced enduro/ISDE-type events for years. Oregon's coast range mountains have miles of steep trails through heavy wet forests. You'll frequently encounter exposed tree roots that cross the trail diagonally. The bark is all rubbed off and they are so slippery. Hitting one w/your front tire can just slap you to the ground. My buddy added a bunch of Kold Kutters to his bike's front tire and found that it grabbed onto those roots like velcro. The ones he put on the rear tire were lost almost immediately. It was also pretty terrifying going across smooth rock faces or pavement, and the screws tore the sh-t out of his garage floor and his truck's bedliner, so he gave it up.
WEll its raining inthe Nickel city and Ramsey and every other body of water I happen to notice is still wode open without a hint of ice.
December is dangerous evenon a good year so becareful.
SO you have a Cottage near Mindon.
Nice area!
My family owns a Camp ( or Datcha ) near Espanola on the Lang lake system.
I don't go there much, just take my father up now and then for a vissit.
Used to fish a lot up there and even more riding on the sleds in the winter.
No ice or snow up here yet though.

least twice a month.Adam,
410 X 6 2Ply Snow Hog Carlisle.. they were not carlisle though.. generics.. I wish I had gotten the carlisle they are just slightly beefier. The ice screws where called "gold ice screws" 3/8"... they are glorified sheet metal screws with a fat shank and cupped head.. I rip these on gravel and too and have not had one fall out.
