March 17 2022- although there is still plenty of ice on the bay, it is dwindling quickly. I expect to be to be open in the next week or so, if things continue as they have. I would certainly not recommend anything in the realm of icefishing. Once the water is open, perch fishing should be good. Also, brown trout will be along the shoreline soon, and here’s to hoping that there’s more of them this year than last year. Remember, everyone in the small boat needs to wear a life jacket until May, and it is always better to be safe
