Anderson: Anglers at Leech Lake are up to task on windy opener

ON LEECH LAKE – The plan before dawn Saturday morning was to minimize the chance misery would reduce us to sniveling cabin dwellers on the state’s first day of fishing.

All day Friday the wind blew, howling still that night outside the windows of our cabins, which lay hard by the shores of this giant lake. Even the oldest and largest trees bent to the gale that gusted from the north-northwest, and at sunup Saturday the temperature was 27 degrees. All the clothes we could muster, that’s what we wore.
