Hi All!

Well I know everyone is sick of all this snow and how lousy it is to trudge thru it to do any ice fishing.

Thing is you might as well get use to hearing the TRUTH! -> With all this snow (and more coming) yet to melt -> the Spring run-off is going to be BAD this year REAL BAD Exclamation

Have absolutely NO DOUBT that every little creek, stream, and river will be running at ABOVE FULL TILT come Spring Exclamation

I also have No Doubt that there will be wide spread flooding in many areas.

How all this heavy Spring run-off is going to effect this years open water fishing is anybodys guess Exclamation

I agree, it is gonna be real bad, especially the ct river. It'll be dangerous even after the the water level drops because of all the debris the floods will bring back into the river.

River yaking anyone in the floods? Best rapids we are gonna see pretty much unless we get like over 10" rain in summer... cold but the best to yak all year long locally...
