    It is that time of the year again!

    Anyone want to test their psychic abilities by predicting the date of the first open water walleye report?

    I'll go with April 6th

    Hoping the wind blows most of it out vs melting off.

    Well I am not predicting when the lake will open enough to be safe for boats but I agree on the access part! Most boat ramps are in protected areas so they thaw and become safe for launching at a much slower pace, the wind and current do not affect them like they do the open lake. What makes for a safe harbor also makes for a slow thaw.

    Agree on the thought that hatch should be good this year, it seems that with the heavier the ice cover, the better the hatch has been in years past and there is data to support that fact.

    Wow!

    You guys with the ice fishing experience would know better than I, so I am growing concerned about being able to fish at all in April!

    Guess I should check the ice rating on my aluminum hull...

    I know someone who's planning on fishing from their boat this weekend. Huron River is open and Mazurik's might be launchable this weekend too.

    I think their nuts, but if they make it out then the first splash will be this coming Saturday (march 22nd).
