open water

Any guesses how much open water we'll have April 1st? Something tells me we won't be fishing in a bathtub like most opening days!

Due to the horrible ice season, we should petition NHF&G to open trolling season 2 weeks early!

Is the fly fishing viable right now by you? Water is very high every where up here it seems.

I meant trolling.  Water is high but managing some regular catching on the fly now.

I gotta rebuild the trim unit on my Merc so I see more fly fishing happening this spring. Maybe I'll get motivated this weekend.

Anyone hit the big lakes yet? Little breezy today but I'd love to have trolled Winni this morning. Still haven't pulled my winter cover yet though off the Lund. Hopefully next weekend can prep and change the fluids if not snowing again.  ::)

I'm pulling the cover off my vessel this weekend I believe. Lots of issues to deal with though so I might be fishing on foot for a while here.
