"Water logged"
« on: Jan 25, 2010, 04:52 PM »
Anyone else out there had enough rain >:( After a deluge of rain the last 24hrs
and the 50* temps. I'm wondering "is this it?"................. where's a man got
to go to get a decent winter with solid "ICE"

I have plenty of really good ice, at least for the next 3 to 3 1/2 months any way.  ;)2

I was going to go out last weekend but was sick.  :'(
The week before was my first trip this year and I did ok, but ended up doing more sledding than fishing.
Things are starting to pick up around here now that the days are getting longer.   :thumbsup:
March and April are the big months as the days are long, sunny and relatively warm (in an arctic kind of way.  ;D). I have TGF coming up to visit at the end of march and we will be spending a couple of weeks chasing giant lakers and camping out. Watch for my report in the NWT forum.  ;)2

PS

I was down in your neck of the woods over Christmas.
Did a little steelheading at the Elk.   ;D

I fished in the rain yesterday 8-3 here in MI w/ the lake to myself! The ice seems to be holding up pretty well still.



No worries, lots of fishing left ::)

Yeah, all the snow melted but the ice was still in good condition and it's making ice now. Just made for easy walking and dragging the get sled.
