Way ahead of last year

Spring has been trying to arrive throughout the upper Midwest and the U.P. is certainly no exception.We are weeks ahead of last year, when April brought storms with snowfalls above the one-foot mark. Depending upon where you go right now, you will find anything from rivers that have seen the bulk of runoff to those that are still frozen. 

I did manage to fish a bit this week and found the fish very reluctant to cooperate. That is most likely due to the water temperatures, the warmest of which I measured at 36 degrees. However, barring a repeat of last April, I suspect that we will actually be able to do something other than go ice fishing when opening day arrives later this month.
