Did the same today! Laid out some gravel for the trout to spawn on...in front of some incoming springs. Grabbed the only few cedars on my 400 acres, a couple of spruce and a bunch of ironwood, put some stumps on them to sink them. Still 30 to 36 inches of ice but the sun is really pounding the ice though...going to take a while to melt that much.
Oh and a new friend showed up, I'm sure he will be sleeping soon.
