Who else is sick of winter?

I love ice fishing. I tend to ice fish more than I do summer fish since I haven't had a boat in the past. Honestly I am completely sick of ice fishing as of right now. I would assume I have bee on the ice at least 60 times this year with about a 90% success rate.

As of right now I am so ready for the snow to melt and do some open water fishing. We have so much snow on the lakes around the Detroit Lakes area that It has became a struggle to go out and search for fish unless you have a snow mobile. Even then the holes are still flooding for all the extra weight on the ice.

I went to LOTW two weeks ago and even though we caught fish it still wasnt that fun to me. I am just plain and simple sick of ice fishing. I was thinking about going and chasing some Tulibee this coming weekend but I don't even know if I can motivate myself to doing it. Soon I should have a new to me boat in my possession if everything works out right and I will be doing a lot more lake fishing this year. I even went and bought a new tackle box today and I am in need of two new UL rods.

Basically I can wait for all this snow and ice to melt and who's with me on this?

Just one more good weekend with the panfish on the ice in 50 degrees and I'll wrap up my ice season a happy man, and start building up anticipation for some spring eyes.

I was ready for spring after my 2nd ice fishing trip of the season back in January

What I am really getting sick of is the slippery roads. seems like every time I travel someplace latey the roads are in tough shape due to snow and wind. Yesterday I was in west central Minnesota (Ortonville to Benson)and the roads were so bad from the snow/wind that I though I was driving on LOW.

I have been outside everyday with the wifes blowdryer taking care of my snow, that is how bad I hate it. If I had a long enough extension I'd be down to the local lake to start on that.

I brought the boat out of storage last weekend and now I'm spending all my free time getting everything ready for open water. I just can't take this any more. If we don't get open water pretty soon, I think my head will explode.

I'm leaving for a trip south for 12 days tomorrow. Hoping that at least the north ditches will be snow free and kind of green by the time we get back. I took the lights off of the hockey rink/pond last night with Spring in mind.

Sick of winter... heh. I have been sick of winter since my last steelhead outing.

I stood at a 20 foot by 60 foot patch of open water near a discharge last night and practiced my fly casting for an hour while enjoying a killer sunset (and watching folks driving suburbans onto the lake still)

Yeah. winter needs to be done now. I'll be at the river tonight working on high flow rate "controlled" drifting.

Perhaps hook into a redhorse or carp or dogfish...
