Big Cliff Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Well, considering that we have less ice than usual here this year and the long range forecast is calling for well above normal temperatures here for at least the next two weeks with plenty of rain. I have a feeling this is going to be a very early spring. I'm guessing that the spawns will be a few weeks earlier than normal too so we are really going to have to adjust our fishing tactics to compensate. I'm betting ice out here and the boat in the water before April 1!
lew Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 The weather doods are calling for 2-4" of snow up here tomorrow Cliff so spring may have to wait a few more days yet

ketchenany Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Big Cliff have you been looking at furry things and predicting the weather?
mercman Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Does that mean they will open the seasons earlier this year I didnt think so......Oh well
ecmilley Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 got the batterys charging for the ranger right now cliff, i see any open water will down to pick you u up lol who knows crossed sturgeon lake in my pick up on sunday found 20 inches of ice off the golf course be around a couple weeks yet
mike rousseau Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 An early spring will make up for the late spring last year... Last year I was getting walleye with eggs in em till June.... Never caught walleye with eggs in the spring before... And maybe the weeds will get nice and thick again...
camillj Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Not so fast Cliff ... I have an Ice fishing trip planned for this weekend But I suspect you are right ... I thought I got a whiff of 'Chrome' while walking by my backyard trib today
Sinker Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I had the boat out today. First time its ever seen water in Feb!! S.
Big Cliff Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 I don't think the Scugog river ever did freeze over this year. Most winters you could drive a sled right up the river into Lindsay at some point. Where did you have your boat in Sinker?
whiskywizard Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Normally I'd be happy waiting for Mother Nature to run her course, but this year I'm dying to get out on Sturgeon open water. Spring can come any time now!
grimsbylander Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I' glad I'm not the only one itching to get out. I pulled my boat out of the backyard last weekend and put it in the driveway. My plan was to do it early spring while the ground was still frozen but with the plus temps and rain coming, who knows? Anyway, redoing the livewell valves and plumbing and I'm going back in the water! Mid-March most likely. Muhahahaha
Peps Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I agree with Cliff, this is the earliest I've seen geese paired up. Saw my first pair almost 2 weeks ago. Peps

Being a man of the land my hole life and watching the tell tail signs i'am with you on this Cliff , i know i better get the perch boat ready sooner then later . Mother nature will give another huff and puff a time or two then it will be here , her storms will be short lived from here on in , buds are all ready on some trees .
Sinker Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I was on quinte, Cliff. More open water than ice down that way, although we did fish close enough to ice to see some icefisherman. Crazy winter for sure. S.
