I arrived Wednesday morning to a wind storm and a Reservoir that looked more like the Pacific! Waves crashing against the Dam wall and splashing up over the roadway means no launching! Ambient temps...

Launched about 0530 this morning into whitecaps! This was actually a good thing as the wind blowing in on the launch meant the entire area I wanted to fish would be protected and calmer water. After...

Water temps only up to 47*, I found 48.1 but I could have stepped off the boat and it would have been ankle deep. Flipped and pitched everything with multiple colors and varying weights and nothing s...

Snow or no snow I was heading out today! Was mainly slush on my way to the lake. Water temps were 42-42.5* and when the sun came out it wasn't half bad, when the wind blew it wasn't half good :)

I just wanted to be on the water, it was just too nice out and I managed the day off so away I went. That being said, I did fish, swear I had one bite but no fish so who knows? Early season jitters ...
