That time between when the Ice Houses have to be off the lakes, for the
most part here in MN 2-28, and when the lakes are open enough to drop
the boat in.

Well, there are fishing activities available; we can still use poratble
shacks for ice fishing, but no over nighting, and there's open water on
the Mississippi river with all C&R fishing for walleye and all others.
Plus we have winter rules trout fishing on the streams in SE MN.
Barbless hooks and artificial baits.

So between those and the fishin' shows on the TeeVee, I'm still getting
my angling fix here. And we'll be headin' fer the Crappie hole soon
enough this spring!
