back after a short vacation (all vacations are too short , long vacations are called retirement , lol !) i found all the larger "river lakes " in the area are 99% open water , some coves and banks still have a skim of ice on them . small ponds are covered in unsafe ice . the dams will be active during the next few weeks , we have some warm rain comming .
everybody got there new fishing licence ? i'm getting the all species thursday after work .
i've got spawn to tie and waxeys to toss ," hello au sable , big daddys going fishing ".

well suckers have started to run in omer , the pike are just now getting into the ditches . flatrock is seeing some steelhead action .
in flatrock , huron river , the dnr was taging walleye just east of the telegraph bridge last week . there is a new boat launch at flatrock just below the bridge .
a couple guys lost there canoe and all there gear while on the huron last week , it flipped and they made it to shore near a half mile below the golf course . the water is freesing cold , they were lucky .
i gotta dig thru the freeser and get my spawn out for the weekend , rain is in our forcast . i've got some bags to tie .
i'l be starting to work on the canoe you sold me this week , somehow i feel we'll be doing some camping soon at the lake, that canoe will be perfect on our trips ! thank you for the deal , i'm loving the craft already , can't wait to use it .
the old computer cought a virus , it's slower than cheese-whis . i've done a few scans , it's time to upgrade the program . we're going to xp as soon as i can get to midland .
good fishing to ya' .
