It doesn't go that fast.Also this time of the year is the doldrums for ice fishing.Spent 6 hours at Channel to get 17 keepers yesterday,but we'll be good Catholics tomorrow observing Lent.

Remember that the snow pack is insulating the ice. It will take time for the snow to melt exposing the clear ice. If we get rain after that it will go fast. We will still have a hard water season for a bit. All next weeks weather will do is make travel a little easier.

Agree Hunterman. Was out yesterday and pulling a one man shack through that stuff was not easy. slipped and fell a few times and found out the goretex on the glove were for wind, NOT water. Putting my stuff away and getting the long rods ready.
