You're right, toothdoc. Don't worry, the thought of going ice fishing myself never crossed my mind. I went by the discharge at Busse for a while today and did manage to get the a little bit of the fishing bug out of my system, even though I didn't catch anything. At least it was nice to get out a enjoy a beautiful day.toothdoc said:That's how it looked last Saturday. I would have been very surprised if the ice was completely gone. The weather today will help, but it is still going to take a lot more warm weather to completely melt. Don't take any chances going on that ice. It is not safe! I would recommend the warm water discharge at Busse. I know how you are feeling. I want to get out too. I got some new equipment for Christmas that I can't wait to try out.
