It is too cold to fish and well I am going insane and I don't ice fish. The ice is too thin anyways. I am going to go and see what the lake looks like out of boredom. Weather.com says my chances are high for catching fish but then again yesterday it looked like thin ice so I am hoping that by the bridge it is unfrozen. I heard the bridge pillars are heated so maybe it will be just enough to get me in. I am on Spring Break and it is cold. [unsure] They have Spring break when it is still winter. It is so stupid. Lake Arthur here I come! I will bring back a fishing report which will probably consist of ice to thin to fish and no holes at all. I am going to be checking for holes that I can get my my line into.

Sounds like you need to get a playstation 2 and a couple fishing and hunting games. That's what I did. LOL [

Or, get a beer fridge and a pool table installed in the spare bedroom, then invite all your buddies over in your spare time. That'll work too. (if you're married, this may not be an option)
Or, you could move further south (carolina's and further) so the lakes don't freeze over.

I went out and there is ice all over the lake and I found a pond that comes from a spring that was thawed. Got skunked though. Muddy Creek run part of Lake Arthur though is frozen solid. Reports of ice that is 8 inches thick! Thick enough to in theory hold a car. According to signs by part of 422 that is now under water. Old 442. I talked to the local owner of the bait shop and well he said he would buy some flies off of me if I tied any. I made 15 San Juan worms and I am going to take them in and ask 50 cents a piece and I am buying a tip up that he is selling for $7.00 only thing is it is going to be 50 tomorrow.[shocked] I have to wait until next freeze to go and try it out.

I feel your pain

I know exactly how you feel. It's been cold here although the lakes aren't frozen over. I love to fish, but I have authoritis in my back, and I don't fish during the winter anymore. I'm going in the morning though, my boat has had a long enough vacation and it's supposed to be in the fifties tomorrow! Can't wait.
