I passed one of two tests today for work, so I am treating myself to a little longer fishing time.
With the recent warm weather and rain the open water gap between the dam and the ice has increased approximately one-hundred feet. If you look closely at the background of the picture you can see a sign and some lights from the dam. I am approximately 50 feet from the turbulent open water of the dam.
Fishing was difficult tonight. According to the marks on my locator I had some lookers, but not many takers. I tried many different colors but I was most successful with downsizing my lure size.
