Thats a tough one, last year I was still ice fishing at the end of march while people were already open water fishing

My guess is March 18th for most ponds

Not soon enough

 

[toothdoc]

I agree with Culprit, not soon enough. Since this year is colder than last, I predict March 24th.

 

[FishinMatt]

I think most of us our on the same page here. I say March 20th, give or take a day or two.

April 2 :mrgreen:

This winter is another nasty one

 

[fishkid]

ya im with Mike on this one, April 5th

 

[fishinnut28]

come to think this winter does suck and will suck more, so last week of March for small ponds

 

[HSFish]

Once the river reaches 40+ i'll be hunting smallies. No matter if theres safe ice anywhere else, the river is where my heart is
That should be some time in March

Damn it EYE! You took the words right out of my mouth, except replace the smalies with suckers. :lol: :lol:

As for the ice out, I wish it was tomorrow, but I'm gonna say last couple of days of February to first week of March.

 

[Whats the catch..Ron'chi?]

march 28th :wink:

DOC
I can go to ice or open water.


My son asked me about a story in a magazine he found in the "office" (bathroom) reading room.
Illinois Hot spots, Ill River Feb for walleyes.

I told him yes-lets go!
10yr old reading fishing magazines in the bathroom!

As long as runoff isn't too bad, i can deal with a slight warm up to drop the boat in.
I'm looking at the 15th or 22nd..

OK-come on Spring!
