Managing Editor Rob Drieslein kicks off the show with ice-making chatter with Minnesota Editor Tim Spielman. Skim ice is forming across the state, but ice anglers need to be careful until 4 inches of walkable ice is available. Then columnist Patrick Durkin from Wisconsin drops in to talk about top outdoors topics across the St. Croix. The eagle cam has been in the news the past 10 days, and Lori Naumann from the DNR’s nongame program visits to share all the details about the camera’s official relaunch. Then Tim Lesmeister drops in to talk about the incredible number of Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness cancellations as well as a letter to the editor that analyzed the growing use of forward-facing sonar among anglers.
