I had ice on the water up in the shade on Friday. Only saw minnows around. Saturday was very warm for us, 60s. Saw some BG and they came up for a few pellets in the evening. On Sunday, I saw the first LMB of the year. They were out hunting. I threw a few pellets out and they just hung under the pellets to ambush. They're only 1 yr old, so still slim and eating small stuff. Nowhere near warm enough water to fire up the feeder, but great to see them come up after a the winter.
