OK, all you lucky warmwater popper-loving, bass-busting, gill-catching people south of the ice line.. I'm losing it. I'm tying poppers lately and dreaming of long days in my canoe pestering smallies under lilly pads.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, please post some photos of open water, boats, fish, frogs, rushes, muddy banks, whatever you've got.

We need some pictures. We need some hope up here. Please. I'm begging.
