I got out and float tubed the berry today. Fished the whole mud creek arm. It was really cold, and icy. so cold my reel and rod eyes kept freezing solid. I fished the ice shelf and caught a lot of moss... I did manage to get one hook set, and he ran me down into a bush where he snagged me so bad I had to break my line. I tried buggers of every size and color, I tried leeches, scuds, even small nymphs. Nothing was working today. I stayed out all day from 8 until dark. Large fish started surfacing around the ice edge right around dusk, I did try casting to them, with no luck. I think I am done with the berry til ice. I think when ice off happens I am going to require some guidence in the streamer fishing on still water lakes.
