Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Already 0-2 on trips (God was not willing, the creek DID rise) but MIGHT get a shot to get out for muskies this weekend.
How about everyone else? Long wait til May/June or some other plans in mind? |

| South Dakotan here. No musky "season" so to speak, so I will likely be on the water as soon as ice is out. Forecast indicates warm weather for the foreseeable, so hell, maybe before the end of March. |

| Living in Florida makes musky season tough…I’m not able to get up north until September this year. However, bass fishing is in full swing as usual. |

Location: WI | Northern WI season starts the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. The general season starts the 1st Sat of May so walleye & smallmouth will keep me busy for a few weeks. And it gives me time to get any boat issues corrected and to start getting into "casting shape". |

| Like Emptynet, Memorial Day weekend for musky. When water hits 55, will go out and fish with a bobber for shallow crappie and blue gills. Something about bobber fishing reminds of being twelve and allowed to take the row boat out for bluegills by myself. That was a long time ago, but when that bobber takes off, feeling is the same. |

Location: Brighton CO. | Theres a little city pond in my town where I like to go cast to keep myself in fishing shape, try out new Bucktails I've made or try new lures. I can catch Blue Gills small Bass and some years try stock it with Trout in the spring. A week and a half ago it had Ice but with a string of 60 degree days it's ice days were numbered. A week ago I was doing some yard work and it was warm and the wind was blowing hard I bet my little loses it's ice today. (I didn't get over there.) That night I watched the news and to my horror they had a ambulance by a lake in metro Denver and they pulled a 65 year old man out of the water who was clinging to a ice chest. He tried to go ice fishing and went thru. You could see the ice was dark, dark and rotten. He died.
The next day I cheeked my pond no ice, so I've ran some new bucktails and tried out some new lures. Where I live March is our snowiest month but last night we had rain and big wind and it's blowing today. I have some ultra light rods rigged and ready to go tomorrow. |

| No closed season in PA, still waiting for the spring floods to kick things off. Water was so low most of this winter it wasn't worth it. |

Location: PA Angler | Hopefully soon haha. As soon as it warms up to go to the camp I’ll be hitting them. April starts opening for trout so that might be first as it usually is for me. |

Location: Long Prairie, Minnesota | Won't be until June 6th for me. Luckily there is turkey hunting to help kill some of that time, and when that is over there might be some soft water to dunk the boat and chase some crappies with the wife. |
