I fished the Snake Arm by Cove and Crane Falls today and on my way out on Crane Falls Road it appeared that there was some water in the Bruneau arm. It was hard to tell if it really was open water or just water on top of the ice from my vantage point. Crane Falls is totally ice capped and 95% of Cove Arm is capped. I even chucked some big rocks onto the ice where I thought it was thinner and it didn't even crack. The rocks just skipped. Time for some global warming so I can fish! Oh wait, it's climate change now. Today was my first trip there ever that I got 100% skunked. The snake arm was turbid and had lots of debris. Nothing wanted to play but it was nice to be out hitting the soft water again. Had some good hunting talk with a guy in a bass boat at least!
