The Days of Ice Are Numbered

It won't be long before the ice leaves Brainerd area lakes, according to Mike Kurre, DNR Hunting, Angling Mentoring Program Coordinator. He says warmer temperatures, sunshine and coming rains will finish off the ice, which remains quite thick.
Kurre says the ice is off most metro lakes already. He says the Governor's Fishing Opener is May 9th on White Bear Lake, the first time it's been held in the metro area.
