stll up here ,been doing some ice fishing past couple days and all i can say is spring is not here yet!!!
we've been fishing through some -20 to -30c weather with 10-20 mph winds. lots of snow and ice levels depending on which lake,how deep,when it froze last fall vs when first snows came ranged from 26-34" with 2' of snow on it.
slush was not bad on any lakes near VB that we fished. catching some walleyes24- to 27",lots of 15-17.5" eaters, fat pike to 37",and some trout today
but no big ones just eaters. a bit of a warmup,weather stabilizing, and it will be back to last week and the week before levels. still having a great time though. enough clothes,good company,beautiful country,and enough fish to keep you going,tough to beat.
guarenteed it won't be any early april ice out or fishing out of boats before season closes this year.granted things can change quick but may 10th is my prediction now.
