When do you expect to go fishing?

As soon as the ice is gone, the boat goes in. Two weeks? Who knows.
Meanwhile, a couple of trout streams are ice-free.

Which reminds of when I used to fresh water fish. Mostly in the
depths of summer. But sometimes during the spawn.
Talking crappies and bluegills.
The crappies went deep and didn't have much appetite mid-summer,
so spawn time was the salad days for fishing.
How's it work where you're at regarding the spawn?

9"' minimum on Crappie!
Them's big crappie. Thought they only grew them like that down south,
calling them "slabs" and other rustic names.
