I'm excited. Although it was 17 degrees this morning when I left for work, it is still in the low 60s at nearly 8:00 PM. All the frost is finally out of the ground -- the driveway isn't mushy anymore.
I again took a small amount of feed down to the pond at dusk tonight. The trout went absolutely crazy. I've had one silly bass living under the dock for at least three years, and he loves pellets (he also gets caught weekly during the summer). He was out gobbling a few pellets this evening for the first time this year. More big bluegill were up attempting to lethargically grab pellets before the trout got them.
