Hi Jeff,
Yes, I wore sunscreen.
As I get older I use it more and more, probably reverse of what I should have done and wore it more when I was younger.
A sunscreen trick I use now is I put a bottle of sunscreen in my bathroom sink the night before I fish.
Then when I wake up in the morning and I go to brush my teeth the sunscreen is there and I put it on then.
I did take my tracked Grizzly and it worked great, but a snowmobile would still work great up there as there is still enough snow to go from parking lot to lake and not run dry ground, yet.
This pic is from yesterday also, I took it to show a friend who fished in the same exact spot with me last April 1st.
On April Fools Day last year we took a break from fishing and was goofing off climbing the little hill in the background with my quad and a snowmobile. The hill had at least 2’ of snow on top and 3-4’ of windblown snow tucked under the hill on the edge of ice.
If something doesn’t change fast, we all better get our boating ‘fix’ by end of July because a lot of boat ramps are going to be out of the water.
I’m going to Powell in about 30 days and the massive Bullfrog ramp is questionable at best.
Moral of my story: Get boat ready to go now and use it often this spring.
P.S. I love to boat and I hope my forecast is horribly wrong...![[Image: 91-D33-A89-FCC5-4-FC8-B517-EBA292-FBE8-EF.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/RjhC7c4/91-D33-A89-FCC5-4-FC8-B517-EBA292-FBE8-EF.jpg)
