The open water fishing article I posted earlier this week reminded me of a segment I saw on Minnesota Bound last weekend. The host, Ron Schara, introduced a story about Nelson Lake in North Dakota.
The lake is used by Minnkota Power to cool its turbines. The water is then returned to the lake at a balmy 62 degrees, so it stays open water all winter long.
It looks like a fun place to try to fish some day, especially since it’s known as a largemouth bass lake. It would be kind of weird to be casting in full winter gear, but when you’re catching fish, there is nothing wrong with weird.
