Open water is here!
Friday, April 9th, 2010
Ice is out up here. Has been for awhile, in fact. Getting pretty darn antsy to wet a line out in that open water. Interestingly enough, the water has really warmed up in southern/central Minnesota. Panfish are moving toward the shallows, seeking that sunlight, warmth and the food it attracts. No gamefish (walleye or northern) until May 15 this year. But that shouldn’t stop anyone from curing that spring fever with a trip to the lake, river bank or fishing pier.
If you think it’s warm for April here, try Quetico. Routes on at least some of the lakes are open and a few folks are headed up for an April trip. That’d be something … cool, sunny days … no bugs … slow fishing likely … but a great time to watch and observe the critters.
