Slow day at Willard today

[doitall5000]

Ira and I got out to Willard today for my first boat trip of the year. We launched from the South marina, as the North is still locked in the ice. We started off looking for the perch and not finding any big groups, we decided to try jigging on some singles we saw on the side scan but all we caught was one cat after moving close to a dozen times. We finally started fligging and picked up one more cat and a couple of pop and drops. Water temp was between 37 and 39 degrees. We could see ice to the East, North and West but it did not look like it would last too much longer.
Hopefully better days are ahead.

Good report on the south marina.  Happy to see open water access. I would think the temperatures are 33/38 degrees.  We boated on jordanelle today all I can say is it was a beautiful day. Caught 5 kept 3 kokanees.  Don't know where they were hiding, saw very few on tv. Still lots of ice.
