The nice sunny days have taken a toll on the ice. While it’s not gone yet, it won’t be long until the ice will be too rotten to fish on. Some places are fine yet. If you have a favorite lake that is sheltered with some trees and gets a little shade it should be fine. Those lakes right out in the sun and those with a lot of springs are getting a bit treacherous.
The first step onto the ice is the worst in most places. The ice gets thin next to the bank where the sunlight warms up the mud and sand and melts the ice. Once you get across that first few feet the ice is usually pretty good. But that first step can be a little scary.
Take a plank or a short ladder along and lay it across that long step and you’ll be safe to get out to the good ice. And it’s worth it. The fishing for the next week or so will be as good as it has been all winter, and the fun of sitting out on a nice spring day is just what we’ve been waiting for.
