It's 4/19 and the TTF is about 2 1/2' down, yikes. Anybody got a prop business for sale? Black ice on Lake Bastien.

So are we saying that the flowage has opened up and the ice is off?

Just got back. I went out off from Sportsman's landing just for the heck of it - there was still some slush floating around but mostly clear in those bays. I tried to find some panfish but didn't try too hard as I was really up there to scout for bear, so a brief trip and no fish. It started raining last night and still was when I left today but it's a light rain. The woods were tinder dry on Saturday, and when I swung down by the river it looked very low. On a good note, saw plenty of grouse, a few deer, turkey (including a gobbler that blasted me about a dozen times), loons, sandhills, and geese were calling. Hope for rain, and lots of it.
