solopaddler Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well, I set out alone early this morning to fish the whirlpool and was met with this sight when I arrived All that white stuff is ice chunks Here's a couple more shots of the ice Went for a walk and almost stepped into this! This guy seemed to be disgusted with the ice too His partner found a perfect spot for a nest, safe from predators... A couple of cool shots So I saw some nice scenery and had a nice hike, but no fish today But then it's not really about the catching anyway is it? In all honesty the river wasn't completely unfishable. If was willing to time my drifts and put in my time I likely could have scratched out a couple, but I just didn't have it in me today . Yard work is beckoning anyway....time to break out the rake! cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktail Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 That really shows how late this spring is. Water temps in Ontario near Niagara are 8 degrees colder then last year at thhis time. The Niagara isnt a source of warm water yet. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
