LOL,,, one day below zero dosnt safe ice make....

it takes about 8 days below 20 to make 3-4 inches of ice.... I figure by this week end, but the forcasted snow may put a damper on it. insulation and weight wise.

I have another spot to fish this week end for steel head close to home here. I was tipped in by another angler I stumbled upon last week while walking the dog. not a lot of action but enough for me to grab the rod and reel and give it a shot for a couple hours.

Good to hear from ya... how ya been? I was beginning to wonder what happened to ya, havent heard from ya since salmon season.... I still have your shirt and hat. you forgot to remind me about it before you left last kids fishing derby.

I got a scoop on a couple perch spots (highly clasified by a park ranger so I cant devulge untill I have tested it out) let me know if you want in..[]

also I have a tip on a new trout pond. bigger than the last. it is reported to have trout 25-30 inches. I figure to set a tip up for one while perch fishing. These places should be ready a few days before commerce. Walled lake is always ready before commerce.

I went in to town wensday around 5pm didnt go quite as far as walled lake it was getting dark and I would not have seen any thing.

I passed by penny lake and saw some brave sole shoveled out a hocky rink about 40 feet out. didnt see any wet spots.

commerce seemed to be covered over all the way across today. river & canal still open.

[] On ceartain lakes around here , there driving full size trucks out on ! With -20 , it don't take to long to make good ice , the only problem is , that the breakers are already causing problems on the bigger lakes !!

I wonder if he's refering to ice breaking ships? Or maybe the giant cracks that form and create a wall. This is one to look up in our Glossary!

I thought the same thing about the ships then I wondered what great body of water you have that would be navitable. then the thought of what product do you have there other than timeber that you would nead freighters.
