Getting 2013 started

Well, the ice here in Minnesota finally melted a few weeks ago.  It was an unusually long ice cover and messed with the spawn schedule but I guess our lakes could use it after the drought we had last year.

As always, spring fishing is... interesting.  It's hard to find fishable water, being without a car or a watercraft of any kind.  That leaves me with Valentine, which has minimal fishable shore.  So I've just kind of been messing around and getting back into the rhythm of using a fly rod.

I have thrown a spinning rod  a little bit.  Picked up a travel size rod from Dick's the other week and threw a spinnerbait on the end, but I lost the spinnerbait last night and will need to pick up another one.  I had a nice bass on that broke my ten pound test braid.  What can you do.

So I still haven't caught any sizeable fish this year - just been messing around with bluegills and crappies mostly. Looking forward to picking up a kayak.

Hoping to get back into the pattern of blogging a little more this year.  Later.
