We’re not alone up here
The Yellow River and Big and Little Yellow Lakes have a long and loved legacy in Northwestern Wisconsin. Not only are they a part of our history, but they’re also known for great fishing and recreational fun. The Yellow River was first called “River Jaune” by early French explorers because of the bright yellow sand …
During a routine market evaluation, I rounded the corner of a quiet little cabin on Lipsett Lake and came face-to-face with an unsuspecting feathered friend. I thought I smelled something fishy, so I moved closer to see what was on the lunch menu. I guess it wasn’t in the mood to share. ~ …
The gun hunting season started so unseasonably mild. I wondered about the hanging carcasses at various deer camps that I pass along the way to the office and whether the temperatures at night were enough to keep them from spoiling. It was so mild that I told my Thanksgiving guests to be sure and bring …
We were looking at a property on Yellow Lake this week and heard the squawking and honking of hundreds of birds nearby, only to see a blanket of white and gray birds covering the water several hundred feet down the shoreline. It’s migration time again! We jumped into our car and raced to the South …

The ban is in place due to the extreme conditions caused by the wind storm that wreaked havoc on the area last year on July 1st. There …
This morning on our Property Tour we were able to see a lot of open water, which was so exciting for us. This picture was taken at Big Trade Lake, where we viewed one of our new listings. There was a fisherman in a fishing boat on Big Trade Lake already this morning too! Not all the lakes are …
This winter we were able to witness a carping operation on Clam Lake. It was fascinating and I think the photos I’ve posted below tell a lot of the story. Although it’s hard to translate the whole picture without sharing the smell, but count yourself lucky on that one! Clam Lake has been overcome …
Early November is a great time to enjoy migrating birds in our area. These tundra swans were spotted in Keizer Wildlife Area, which is in the heart of Burnett County in Jackson Township. Keizer Wildlife Area is a 1352 acre property with 6 named lakes and several unnamed lakes. It’s a great habitat for fish and …
