Subject: Signs of Spring




Today, with the heavy rains here in Oneida County, the ice has begun to move away from shore on the south side of the lake. And in place of the ice we had mergansers, mallards and wood ducks. The wood ducks are a real sign of spring for me. It has been long winter. Still have almost 2' of snow in front on storage garage with my boat, the it is going fast.

Wow. We've been up and down from the 80's to the 30's around here. Lake temps are pushing into the 60's in some spots. Muskies are finally moving where we can see them. Moved 4 or 5 on Saturday. Some still appear to be going thru the spawn phase.

Well we had the driest winter ever and warm, it's been as warm as 89 in my town and parts of metro Denver it was over 90.
That was in March April been in the mid 70' with a few days in the low 80's and dry. It should be in the low 60's with a lot of rain. We have 50% chance of rain tomorrow and chance of rain on Friday turning to snow Friday night/Saturday morning.
We already have all kinds of water restrictions, Some fools have already turned on there sprinklers (but with the water restrictions they don't want you to turn them on till May) That's when turn my on anyway. In these parts they tell you not to plant anything that will freeze till after Mothers Day. No fish caught out of our town pond yet. Last year at this time I was doing quite well for myself

The calendar may say spring starts in March, but usually after the final round of the Masters, in my part of Wisconsin, the spring season really begins to show itself. Kdawg

I’ve been out and about. Doing some trout fishing right now tried my Muskie spot about a week ago with no luck. Think they are still cold and down deep. With the higher temperatures they should be moving around more soon.

Someone asked me why I watched the Masters every year, and don't really watch any other golf. Part of it is because of the natural beauty of the course but the other reason is just that: I know spring is coming ;>)
