Wednesday Rain...

So its pouring rain outside and the phones and internet are down at work...  Something about the ol' T1 connection underground.  Everytime it gets wet or thaws, I end up working from home.  Nice. 
 
But as I look at the lake outside I see open edges around my dock piles, slush in the center, and winds ripping.  And now my thoughts turn to open water.
 
It's like December, full circle.  Instead of looking for safe ice once the boat goes away, I am now dying to find OPEN water to cast a streamer or a spinner or a crankbait.  It's only 11am, and now I've got fishing on the brain.
 
I think if this keeps up I am going to have to go up to the Indian River and see whats going on with the early Rainbows on the year-round stretch.
 
Two weeks from today it's open season everywhere for trout.
 
Anyone been shore fishing anywhere yet?

i stopped by my catfishing spot yesterday and all the ice is gone..... but now it's under 5 feet of water. once the river goes down a bit i'll be out there whether i catch anything or not.

jimmy sorry I missed your guys icefishing outing, haven't checked out the message boards much but I fell in love with ice fishing again this year, not to many lakes in the catskills. At ice out i am going to try to get out on thompsons for some surface activity. will be on a river soon in some unnamed spots for some smallies on the fly, glad they made C&R all year. Keller williams next friday got tickets but may be out of town, u going? or maybe need tickets cause mine may turn out to be useless
