Much to many Northlander's delight, summer seems to be hanging on a little longer, giving people more time to soak up the sun, schedule one more camping trip, get out on the water or visit the cabin one last time before the cooler weather sets in.
However, temperatures are forecasted to start cooling down to provide more fall-like weather. This may also get the fall migration for migratory waterfowl and song birds started. Duck hunters may find that there will be mostly local ducks to hunt during this weekend's duck opener until the cold temperatures push the migratory birds down from their northern territories.
The fall colors also still have a way to go before peak. The foliage is only at about 10 percent color so far. In another week or two the fall colors should be really putting on a show.
A mixed bag of lake-run fish can be found in the Bois Brule River now. Fishermen are reminded that fishing on the Bois Brule River, Highway 2 and upstream to the headwaters, will be closing Sept. 30. Highway 2 and downstream to the mouth of the river will be open until Nov. 15.

Last month ABC's program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was busy filming at a nearby residence, and some of the film cast stopped off to do some filming on the Brule River. The show airs Sunday at 6 p.m. on ABC.
