It warmed up a little today and I went out for a couple hours. These are about what the average bass ans gills were today. Not real big but so much fun!

Heck of a lot bigger than the trout I didn't catch today.
What did you catch them on? I may go warm water fishing tomorrow afternoon.
size 10 purple wooly buggers with black hackle.
I keep forgetting to look for purple chennille. Purple worms were my favorite for years and I have done pretty good with purple prince nymphs.
What I really need is a couple of MS style farm ponds. I went out to a 50 - 100 acre lake today, no strikes, no hits, no errors. At least I didn't feel bad about forgetting my camera.
Next time you are down here I would love to take you fishing. I have sole access to a 14 acre pond chock full of bream!
Boy, twist my arm like that again. I need to make a stop in metro Jackson. I have a very good friend in Madison where I camp out and need to call on a couple of company, visit my high school football coach and see the girl I have had a crush on since 5th grade.
It was 72 on Friday, and I got out. Still a skim of ice in some spots, but lots of open water. No fish tho. Get this, last week , 69 Thurs., 72 Fri., 70 Sat., 39 today, Freezing drizzile late tonight, snow tomorrow and Tues. 5+ inches by tues pm. Back in the IceBox.:sad:
We need to weatherstrip Canada. They told me down in Amarillo nothing between there and Canada but a rusty barb wire fence and it was down most of the time. Several years ago a client had me come look at their MN casino in January. I had to scratch around to find enough clothes, I did okay but it was only 20 deg. below.
Man, I'm jonesin' so bad to get out and fly fish! Y'all are killing me... I haven't caught a good sized gill in at least a month. LOVE the pics! Keep 'em coming for us poor saps that won't have decent fishing for another 2-3 months!
We drilled through 12" thick ice in the middle of a nearly 13,000-acre reservoir on sunday. With the nasty weather rolling through this week, we'll be out on that ice for a good month yet. I won't complain a bit about it, because we've been filling 5-gallon buckets with crappie. But it sure would be fun to get the 3-wt out again!
Nice to see someone getting warm water fish...we're getting 12" of snow here tonight!
