If 1/2 hour before sunrise is your favorite time of the day.

If Regina SK. , Winnipeg MB, The Pas MB., and Devils Lake ND are all on your weather channel favorites.

If a sweet looking Italian means the name Benelli not Gina

You know you're a duck hunter if your sons or daughters point to the ducks eating bread from the kind old people at the park and yell, "BANG!"

You can remember your Labs Birthday, but you have no clue when your wifes is!

You can eat a greasy Bufflehead and after letting out a good burp say, "that was pretty darn good, anymore left"!!

If you shed a tear when you snap your favorite pushpole that you've had for 15 years!

If you think you look good in camo face paint, all the while your wife is telling you, "wipe that stuff off your face, we're out in public now".

Right On!!

No matter where you are (church,shopping,working ect) the sound of whistling wings or a honk of a goose get's your attention to look up and try to find them!

If you frequently interrupt conversations during car rides to point out the various types of waterfowl seen on bodies of water along the highway (my wife got so fed up with me Wednesday on our trip to Bismarck that she quit talking... whistle )

When you here a Honker or the whistle of wings you mutter "Get Down" No matter where you are.

You would rather look at the pretty ducks on Laker phalen than some other pretty sites.

Your favorite drink is called a Duck fart.

BTW There is still shotgun shells in my boat Dan laugh

If you wear black hoodies, buy $150 duck calls, buy mud motors even though the lake you hunt on is 15' deep and there are so many stickers on the rear truck window that you cant see. Wear face paint to, always a sign of a true waterfowler

If you are constantly looking in the sky while driving to identify whatever is flying.

When all you have to do is look at your dog to know if ducks are flying.

The word Duck doesnt mean move but it should have. whistle

Your Ringtone is mallards and when it goes off you look up and reach for the shotgun.

You have burnt out your wives hair dryer trying to dry out your chestwaders.

You have put back burnt out hair dryer as if nothing happened...

Tried rigging up PVC off of the forced air furnace to dry your chestwaders.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
