We are moving forward, full steam ahead getting ready for the Rice Lake Fishing Festival and the opening of walleye. The Resort is shaking off the winter grime and getting on with spring cleaning, and all the other things that it implies. The contractor has been here for two weeks tiling several bathrooms, plaster work, and a thousand small things .

Check out Highland View Resort’s SPECIALS  http://bit.ly/GCLhAM  for the Rice Lake Fishing Festival May 12 to June 17 2012. Bring your family, or group and you could catch a winner!

Talk about turning on a dime, sure has changed here. The liquid moisture is well needed but the cold front that moved in with it sure was a shocker. I hope that the snow that is forecast for this evening doesn’t materialize. I can take the snaine (a mixture of snow and rain) but not just snow.

They are all over the place  they are at least 3 weeks early. The grass is growing well and I guess we will have to stop one job and replace it with cutting grass. Maybe we will start collecting butterflies!

We will be opening soon but the fishing is starting early and we have boats in the water and they are rent-able!

Don’t forget to take advantage of our great rates for the Rice Lake Fishing Festival.   There are some fantastic prizes to be caught.

The show here in Carp Ontario just outside Ottawa are about the most enthusiastic and fun loving group that I have met and spoken to in a long time. I love talking about my favorite subjects, Rice Lake and Highland View Resort, it was even more fun because of the genuine interest of the folks visiting the booth. Anglers wanted to find out more about the Annual Rice Lake Fishing Festival from May 12 to June 17 2012. With about $70,000.00 in prizes who wouldn’t want to be part of the festival.

I think that I want to come back next year!

The last couple of nights have been fantastic. The moon has been so bright it made star viewing difficult but the moon’s glow bather the resort in a silvery hue.

Granted it was crisp and cool but that didn’t stop the Chattering of the geese and ducks in the bay or the singing of the frogs in the marsh. All that was missing was the waft of burning logs in the resorts camp fire pits, and the warm summer breeze, and the folks in the cottages, … Ah but it will be here soon enough.
