Season’s Greetings from Stone Harbor
Stone Harbor’s staff would like to wish all of our friends the very best for this holiday season. We would also like to thank you for your support over the past 18 months. In the year and a half since we’ve opened, it has been gratifying to see folks come back again and again. We love it not only when you come to purchase items for your next adventure, but also when you just stop in to say hello and tell us about your latest adventure. Again, thank you.
Speaking of adventures – we have lots in store for you this winter. We are dusting off our cross country ski rentals and hope to get them out soon. All we need is a tad more snow. Last weekend, we did have folks through the store who were either coming from skiing on the local trails or heading that way. We heard reports back form the Bearskin trails and also the Banadad Trail, and the stories were encouraging. Yes, we could use more snow – but nevertheless, everyone seemed to have a good time.
Scott and Ben took a couple of scouting trips last week to find the best places to go river skiing with the new Marquette skis. One area did not work out, but on Saturday they seemed to think they found their place. We hope to start those tours as soon as we get a few more inches of snow.
Then there is the ice fishing. The BWCA opens their season for lake trout on New Year’s Eve, with the rest of the area opening on January 14. The season for walleye, northern pike, and several other species is open now, so we’re all geared up. Many lakes are frozen over to a safe level, but be sure to check before going out and be careful until we get a whole lot more cold weather.
As it gets colder, keep in mind that we have all the latest in shelters and electronics. We have Otter and Clam shelters, as well as Vexilar and Marcum locators and cameras. We also have different styles of rods and tip-ups. Stop by and you’ll see everything you need to spend a day or a week on the ice – and if you do intend to spend the week, remember that we have the tents and stoves to keep you toasty warm.
Enjoy the rest of your holidays – we hope they include some new gear from Stone Harbor! Then, come on in to get anything else you might need for your winter adventures. We can’t wait to get out there with you.
