  Everybody is wondering just what kind of winter we're going to have this year! It just might be one of those good old - fashion types that you might be icefishing around Thanksgiving time to the end of March! Now hold that thought - I won't even think of the term open winter! Don't you either.

  By this time in October I've started checking my rods, reels and tipups, making sure they all in good shape, as well as checking lines for any cuts or nicks to be replaced.
