I got up there yesterday for the day and it was a beauty. Good solid morning for lakers and then went to shore for some whites after lunch, managed to get into a few good schools. Oddly, and this is not the first time, I watched as this whitefish tried for the swivel on my rig over and over and over. It's pretty cool to watch and also fun to try and lift my rig while it's facing away so that the next time it comes by it sees a fly instead of a swivel. I did manage to get him this time. Sorry guys no pictures as I fish by myself and am trying to get them swimming asap.
Although there was some slush close to the banks I think the ice is still getting thicker believe it or not, 30" for sure. I'm sure it will start to go the other way pretty quick considering the weather forecast. Just as well because I'm getting itchy fingers for some open water fishing. May have to stomp the bow and shake off the cobwebs pretty quick here.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
