Big difference today, as well as a cloudless day.

Looks like it's going to be a fairly normal ice out this year doesn't it Frank? Should be gone by the first week or two of April I'd guess which is about typical? Has the winter been average or mild like it has been elsewhere?

[Frank Walsh]

My guess right now is an early ice out. My guess is April 15-20. Normal is about May 1. Definitely a warmer winter. Looked like it was going to be a late freeze, but was saved by a 9th inning cold snap. Definitely a shortened season with premature warming. Certainly looks to be a trend the last few years.

[Tim Kelly]

Ah, OK. I thought you were normally ice free in mid April. How was the ice season? It's been a really poor winter fishing here, despite been very mild, or maybe because of it?

[Frank Walsh]

Fishing was very good this winter. May have even the best since I moved here. Half the houses never moved from their first location, and were consistently good. Total opposite from last year.
