Things are slowly progressing toward open water fishing. However, last Monday they were driving trucks on the ice. Since then it has been reduced to ATVs and snow machines only. Sloppy edges but lots of ice away from shore.
Many are happy to still be ice fishing as this is turning out to be very productive. I am doing it (and doing well) but cannot wait for it to end. The open water fishing immediately after ice-out can be unbelievable.
Don’t get me started on my theory concerning water temperature.
Thanks to all who have booked early for this year’s fishing. I am excited to meet our new friends and to see the returnees again!
