By todays weather, I'm predicting it will be a while until the fishing season begins.   What do you think?

saw a pic in the local paper about a guy that caught a 30-inch steelie by Yates Cider Mill

It snowed here today! Yes, I said SNOW!

I'm dreaming of a white Easter.... lol We won't even have to paint the eggs this year to hide them!

we got about a inch of snow in the morning but it melted off by 3:30 pm

Easter eggs will be buried in snow here this weekend. We got lots left and the daytime temps are barely getting above the freezing mark.

what's up with the weather there in mich?talked to my friend and he told me they was getting frezing rain in the u p on sat at the cabin.then you get 1-3 of snow in the l p yesterday.i'm coming uo there on saturday to visit and was planning on some fishing.not sure if i need to bring my ice gear or regular gear or both.i would trade you all this rain for some of the snow.i could at least do some work around the woods and hidng easter eggs in the snow sure would be fun watching the grandkids look for them.either way,i'm going to fish for something.

I'm here to tell you winter is not going to let go. shoot hale had a snow day today and our campground we live in in the summer is supposed to open next sunday. Was up there a week ago and the lake was still frozen solid. I'm sure the rifle river is just a ripping and trout opens next sat. grrrrrrr!!!!!!

It was 37 degrees last night and we still managed to get a thunderstorm, with what I thought might have been hail, but I'm not sure.

When is the summer gonna get here?  By this time last year, I had already started fishing for bass and carp.  Haven't seen either species yet.

lmao........when i was a young whoopper snapper........this was the norm....walking ta sckool in snow up to our knees....up hill both ways

Don't you mean up to your neck, Bill? Didn't you have to wear cinder blocks as shoes and sheet metal for a jacket? Haha.

is that what those things are called?

i've fished many a trout opener in the snow

looks like another crazy April

everything is flooded here We were hammering some jumbo perch but now all the rivers are over their banks and ripping along.

Snow flurries and LOTS of wind in the Irish Hills today. Hope you didn't blow away yesterday Pillman, I saw wind gusts reported at 65 MPH up in your neck of the woods!

tornado watch yesterday, rain coming down at a 45 degree angle today. fun, fun, fun

makin' a nice "walleye chop" LOL

What a beautiful morning - the sun is shining, the wind is calm, the birds are singing. There's not a cloud in the sky and the snow looks so nice on the green grass.

Spring is here! 

Welcome to Michigan!!

At least yesterday's sun melted the snow. But we've got an acre or more of standing water. Any deeper and we could stock it!

If you stock it while it's shallow the fish should be easier to catch!

Maybe bass will like it, the ducks sure do. There's supposed to be yet more rain and snow over the next two days! Enough already!

We had sleet, rain and snow in the Irish Hills today. I heard there was 20" of fresh snow in the U.P. and 4 1/2 feet on the ground in some places. Were we supposed to turn the calander back too?

Maybe it would help. It snowed here yesterday, although nothing stuck. Today its raining. I think my feet are growing webs.

Can't wait till we can start complaining that it's too hot!

May be doing that today supposed to be in 80's

79 degrees in the Irish Hills today - what a difference a week makes!
