It's funny how wind is usually the last word I want associated with fishing. I hate wind and windy days and usually I can take any other weather as long as it's not wind. However, after reading this post I noticed a few others praying for a little wind like I have been doing lately. I launched my boat 5 times in January - once at DC and 4 times at Jordanelle and had some great days on glass water. However cold nights and glass water are a bad combination for keeping the ramps open. I check the webcams every day and say "If we could just get a nice big wind it would clear that ice and I could launch." I have not given up ice fishing entirely, but if I can launch my boat it's not an option. However, it looks like this weekend I will resort to the hard deck for the first time this winter.
