As things always are they never go as planned, I wrote last week how I would be trying some early ice fishing, but yet this hope was dashed. The entire state was consumed in a warm front that brought highs of 50 degrees or so, this quickly ended any chance of venturing out on the fishing hole. Most of the top ice melted off and thus was unsafe to walk on.
However, December 15, the Monday after this warm weekend temperatures dropped nearly 50 degrees in 24 hours (welcome to Iowa). This refroze any exposed water quickly and now if I find myself with any extra time, I’ll be hitting the water chasing after some dinner.
The warm weather did provide a good time for me to assemble the traps I would need this winter, and I was also able to get my ice- fishing equipment organized as to prevent some anxiety and stress when I’m not able to fish because of a tangle.
I’m really looking forward to any spare time that I might find myself with, just a few hours and you can all be sure this fisherman is loading the truck and driving to some FROZEN water. I’ll report on any success on these fishing ventures soon. Good luck and good fishing.
