Winter Day Dreaming

Here we are once again; March in New England and it’s cold. In all honesty it’s been a mild winter, but after having spent the last three years in San Diego, I can’t help but notice the difference. There really hasn’t been a lot of snow in Rhode Island and the lake only froze over for a few days before the temperature rose enough for the ice to break up. Despite the mild weather, I really haven’t been fishing much. We got out a few times when the weather was exceptional, but something about the short days just leaves me uninspired to be on the water.

Early Season Bass on the Fly

It’s that time of year again, March is in full swing and whether your home lake is open water or still cloacked in a wintery sheet of ice the urge to get your hands on that first Bass of the season is constantly in your head. For those of us further south, it’s not so bad, but I remember all to well the feeling of looking at a body of water covered in ice too thin for ice fishing, just waiting for a good wind storm and warm snap to blow thru and open up the lake.
