It is good finally to see some warmer weather here in Upper Michigan. A major snow storm last Monday dumped about a foot of snow on us. But I guess that’s what it takes -we are in the fifty’s here today. One nice thing about lake superior and its bays, when it warms up they start to break up quickly. Fishing activity has slowed way down do to the warmer temps making the ice areas a little shaky. Its time to start keeping an eye out for the steelhead to start coming up the rivers. We are expecting some high water do to the run off from the snow storm. But I guess too high is better than too low. I will keep you posted as the month progresses.Tags: fiahing, fishing report, fresh water fishing, lake superior

With spring and summer coming I cannot emphasize enough. Know what you are picking. I just thought I would touch on the death cap a bit. This mushroom intrigues me because of its place in history. As I have said in past articles this is a good genus to stay away from. There are some edible mushrooms in this group. But why take the chance. The caps are generally greenish in color, with a white stipe and gills. This is one of the most poisonous of all the mushrooms. It appears mostly in the summer and fall. The spore print is white.Murder, or by accident, Roman Emperor Claudius and Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, death by Death Cap. This is a brief discription of this mushroom- consult your mushroom guide for further identification. Tags:wild mushrooms, mushroom hunting, poisonous mushrooms
