Winter still hanging on up north

I went out on Saturday for walleye and did a little exploring. It was a bright sunny day with almost no breeze and temps just below freezing. Despite the nice day, fishing was exceptionally poor. IMO, walleye go into a resting phase in late winter and fishing slows downs for a few weeks.

Winter came back on Sunday and Monday dropping another 6-8” of snow. We should have good sledding up to the season closure on the 15th.

Still a chance that the Rainy River opens up which will provide an open-water experience before the closure.

You folks are lucky. Our ice went out almost a month ago

It’s rough when the fish just aren’t biting, but at least the weather was kind of nice for exploring. Hopefully, the sledding makes up for it and the Rainy River opens up soon for some fun fishing.

and winter still down here... London.....freezing rain yesterday. Very hard on the roses that get a warm sunny day and then a freezing day. They are well mulched, but we'll see.

We got another 6” of snow Wednesday/Thursday. Gotta be close to turning the corner.

Hit Abitibi today. 27 fish. 17 walleye. Nice limit for a fry up.
