Went to Squeers Lk today, an MNR lake trout research lake, only open for about a week a year, where Mnr collects data from anglers fish.

Had a great day, the weather cooperated, the trail in was better than many years, and slush on the lake was minimal. It looked like it had been bad in a couple spots but has frozen up and we had no issues in the couple spots we fished.
