Craft Talk:
Today President Bob Alexander selected Table #2 and Table #1 to give us updates on current COVID impacts on their business and their plans for the fishing opener this weekend.
Most of the COVID impacts are in inventory and the price of goods as factories and distribution are ramping up.
Mille Lacs seems to be a popular location for catch and release this weekend.
