Major habitat - this place sees a LOT of bird activity at various times, including bald eagles, trumpeter swans, blue herons, pileated woodpeckers, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, yellow-rumped warblers...

 Posts: 2547 | Here's the photos from our Marsh paddle. Note that this place is less than 10 miles from my house, in fact I can walk here in 45 minutes or drive here in less than 10...but you can't reach what we saw without a boat, the place is surrounded by marsh...but oh, the biodiversity! Didn't see much invasive either, almost all native plants. Even got a nice fish. Enjoy! Jonathon P.S. The KBF works its magic once again... P.P.S. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PFD!!! | |
| No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

 Posts: 399 | Believe it or not Jonathon that is what the south end of Cedar lake used to look like. It was wild and beautiful and very hard to get into, huge sunfish and big pike and bass lived there. Things changed for the worse in the late 60,s when Brownell reality got permits to dredge, they did good job of screwing things up! I really miss going up to my grandparents place on the lake and how much fun we had growing up, fishing the lake and the pine river at my great aunts place. Things were sure a lot simpler then, I'm getting pretty fed up with everything going on now a days. Mike. | |
