Great Picture!
I just stumbled across this picture on the WBV Facebook page. My niece Hanna took the photo and posted it. It is an amazing photo of mergansers and wanted to share it with all of you. She took the photo here on White Birch Lake.
Time for take off!
More fall colors
The colors have peaked and the leaves are beginning to fall. By next week once we close, the leaf blowers will be going 8 hours a day, 5 days a week! 45 acres produces a lot of leaves!
This maple tree always has the prettiest color in the fall!
I've been meaning to share this photo with you. It's easier to get to the fish cleaning house now. This staircase comes off the creek boardwalk right across from the fish cleaning house.
Photos from Jim Zajac
The photos I promised over a week ago are finally getting posted. They arrived via email the day I left town. Sorry for the delay. Thanks to Jim Zajac for sending these pictures to me. Enjoy! I don’t know the size of the musky’s they caught. They were fishing with live suckers.
The beginning of fall colors. They have since peaked and are beginning to fall.
Jim was able to capture the double rainbow.
Fishing at sunset.
This was the sunset the same night as the rainbow.

Playground soaks up alot of stain
Now that the kids are back in school, the long process of staining the playground has begun. Several gallons of stain was used for the first coat.
Talk about working in tight quarters 🙂
Rainbow tonight
I was standing at my kitchen sink tonight and looked and saw a rainbow. Grabbed the camera and headed out. It stretched from the north bay over Hideaway and beyond. The fisherman who came in from the other side of the lake said the sunset was gorgeous. They will share their pictures with me tomorrow. I’ll post them when I get them.

Great day to be on the water fishing.
The blue heron is also looking for fish
The Eagle wants the bait!
We have four fisherman up here this week musky fishing using live suckers. The eagle has been watching them the whole time and has even tried going after their suckers. the eagle actually got a hold of one of the suckers while on the line. Ed has cuts in his hands where he tried grabbing the fishing line. The eagle gave up, but kept watching them closely. Ed got great pictures of the eagle watching them!
The bobbers the suckers were on.

Great close-up of the eagle! He does look determined doesn't he?

Mike with a 38 inch musky. This one was thick in the belly. They said it was around 12 pounds.
Fall Photo Shot
Thanks to Debbie Miller for this great shot of the playground and fall colors. First digital scavenger hunt photo we’ve had in a while.
It rained and rained and rained
I meant to blog this yesterday, but the power had a mind of its own. Hard to turn the computer on with no electricity. We had another big rainfall on Thursday, a total of 4 1/2 inches. That brings our season total to 30 inches! WOW! Nothing like going from drought to lots of rain. It’s been wonderful. It’s so nice seeing the creek flowing again. And with all the water the flowage is a great place to canoe once again. I took a stroll yesterday morning to see what all the rain had to bring us. Enjoy the pictures.
The fire pit wouldn't be able to have a fire today!
The boat landing dock is getting close to being under water.
We have our own mini waterfall going in the creek this fall.
The water was moving rapidly in the spill way into the flowage.
Northwoods Wildlife Center says THANKS!
All summer long we have been collecting northern pike to bring to the Northwoods Wildlife Center in Minocqua. They use the fish to feed the eagles they are rehabilitating. We ask our guests to keep any northerns they catch and put them in the freezer. Today I brought in over 40 northerns, of various sizes, to the center. They were very appreciative! So thank you to all our fisherman who caught the northerns and took the time to put them in the freezer in the fish cleaning house. The eagles thank you!
