Who's hitting the Brule opener this weekend?

[Quickstrike]

Unfortunately, I have to work saturday but I will be out there sunday and monday chasing some steel. I think i've the itch worse this year than ever before, open water can't come soon enough in my opinion. Who else is heading out this weekend?

[JAR JAR]

Might hit it Saturday morning and fish pannies in the afternoon. Haven't been by there lately so I don't know what the river looks like.

Jar, you must still be ice fishing the pannies. Hows it going?

I haven't touched an ice rod in over three weeks, I'm ready to hit Billings here pretty soon.I need open water pretty bad.I hope all this snow melts pretty soon I need to get the boat out. Walked aroud it on Saturday and there's at least close to a three foot drift around it .

I really want to get out and troll off the Onion and the Souix this spring for browns and splake.

Have you been up to Billings lately?

I was hitting it hard for awhile on the pannies, doing really good. I haven't hit Billings for quite awhile. I thought about trying it last week but I had had enough ice fishing and decided to go check out the Cabela's in Rogers instead. Sure is alot of snow left in our neck of the woods. I'm ready for spring also, have you trolled Cheq. in the spring before?

It's been about three years but the last time we were out there we hammered the browns just north of Houghton point out in front of the orange house with the backwards flag. I have to get the starter pulled off the boat this weekend and have it rebuilt but I will be ready when the ice leaves.

Anyone have any idea of how much snow is still on the ground out there? I'm assuming there'll be a fair ammount, but I'm wondering if snowshoes will be neccessary.

Unsure about around those parts.. But if it is anything like around here, you will need some snowshoes for travel in the woods... In the morning, a person can walk on top, but as the day wears on, the snow definately is getting soft. Was out shed hunting the other day and the snow was still up over my knees!!! I would opt on the safe side and bring em with!!

Porter,

I live in Poplar and we have about 15" in open areas and more in the wooded areas. I think snow shoes would be a good idea.

It wasn't too bad, there was a lot of snow, but most areas had some footprints to follow at least. It didn't really matter how much snow there was, we felt like we were walking on air- Steelhead season is here!

[Quickstrike]

it didn't feel like i was walking on air the next morning after fishing all day and working all night!
