Wood,
How far north of the US boarder are you? Right now Im in Duluth,MN. We just had a snow storm, Duluth style. On monday the 14th it was 87 deg fareinhiet. Wed it started to rain/sleet. Right now thier is ice in the harbor and ice on everything else. We don't even get to fish for bass untill May 24th.
What are your stocking options that far north? Ive heard that northern canada has monster Northerns! Id love to tie into one over 40", skrew bass I'd rather catch a 50" northern anyday!
