The ice has been off my ponds for about a week now. I was a bit concerned about the fish in the bait pond, but they seem to have come through fine. Checked it yesterday evening and found plenty of BG that were eager to come up for pellets. Cow pond surface temp is already up to 45°F. Lots of FHM and GAM cruising the shallows. Another week of mild weather and the YP should be blowing ribbons. I think it's time to wet a line.
