I don't ice fish anymore and it's supposed to warm up a little this coming weekend. I know I won't be hitting the water at zero-dark-thirty. I'll wait until the sun is out and warming up for the day. This old body doesn't handle the cold like it used to.
I hear you on the giving up ice fishing. I made it out on Jordanelle this morning. I waited till 8:00, sun up to launch. It started at 17* but warmed up pretty quick. I only saw one other boat. Fishing was fast for 16 to 18" rainbows, trolling kokanee gear. Next week looks like still decent weather. Don't put the boat away yet. Did get 1 koke that was also released.
