Don't give up yet, Rick! I visited 5 local public ponds Sunday. 2 were 100% ice-covered. 2 were 65-75% ice-covered. 1 was 100% open water. I flyfished the open one and caught at least 25 crappies, 4 bluegills and a bass.
The weather forecast for later this week and next week are high temps in the mid-40's here. I think the frozen ponds will open back up.
