I looked through the paper this morning and found that the ice report for the local lakes wasn’t as good as it was last week. We haven’t had cold enough temps, especially at night, to get the ice factory going. Most of the local lakes have less than 5 inches of ice, which is my lower limit for going out on a lake. Hell, I really don’t feel safe until there’s at least 8 inches, so, I can wait a while longer.
But, we’ve had more snow. Not so much that when the wind blows we get decent drifts, but, we’ve got snow. And just as fast as it gets covered with tracks, a new layer falls and recoats the ground with the pristine white powder.
This weekend I’m going to get my ice fishing gear out and loaded into the truck so, if I choose to go, I can on a moments notice. I might even have to go out and refill the propane tank. As I told one of my friends–I refuse to fish in the cold. So, I’ll look at my rattle reels, my rods and reels, my lures, batteries, and all that.
It’ll all be good.
