Taylor County Snowmobile Trails are closed as of 6:00 AM this morning... Saturday, 2-18-2017.
​

​Spirit Lakes Improvement Association’s 2017 Ice Fishing Jamboree is in the books.  We had very nice weather this year.  The SLIA would like to thank EVERYONE for a successful event.  There are too many to thank personally.  Just know we appreciate all the support.  The money from any of our events helps with the cost of the walleye stocking, running the aerators on both lakes during the winter, conducting our summer kid’s fishing contest and maintaining the boat landing.  Annual membership dues also help offset these costs.  I want to emphasize you do NOT have to own land on the lake to be a member of our organization.  We welcome EVERYONE!
Not as many fish as in the past years were registered on Saturday.  We had no bass or walleye registered this year.  Here is a list of our fish winners…

Good News... Taylor County Snowmobile Trails will be opening Thursday morning (2/2/17) at 8:00 AM.  They will be open to ATV use as well as long as the temp is below 28 degrees or colder.  They are in fair to good condition with some icy and bumpy spots.
