We have much different weather here than you fine people up in the frozen tundra.
Today it will get to about 56 degrees. Its already 45 and really nice out.
Tomorrow it will snow, a winter storm warning is calling for 5 to 8", then tomorrow night it will drop to about 7 deg.
Hows that for a fast change in the weather? That's almost a 50 deg change in less than 2 days.
Our average high for this time of year is 44�F, and our low is 28�F. We are not even getting close to our average lows. Right now it's 17�F out and is supposed to get below 0�F tonight.
I was reading a DNR fishing report this morning. SOUTHWEST LOWER PENINSULA Shallow and weedy lakes are starting to show signs of poor dissolved oxygen. Fish are becoming lethargic and suspending higher in the water column. Try fishing a few feet below the ice.
If your pond needed a stocking redo, this winter may be a blessing in disguise. I know my bosses 3 acre pond needs one. The guy who stocked it put in pretty much everything but WE and Trout. Said the trout would not survive and the WE would eat everything. But then he stocked NP, LMB, SMB, CC along with sunfishes and YP. The YP seem to be gone, and there is an abundance of bullhead now.
