If we don't get any measureable rainfall beforehand, the ice will form over shallower water and will have an affect on fishing.
Some ponds are shallow enough now, that if we have a real deep-freeze it could cause some serious "winter-kills".

If we don't get any serious rain and/or snow over the coming winter we will be in much worse condition for next year!

Thanks Bruce... holding out on turning on the heat.... boats all wrapped up and pickled...I'll finish the season from shore...

the ponds up north are not quite as decimated as the ones down here...

My ice gear is ready.. I made a new trailer for the wheeler... my wife didn't like the idea of me driving the wheeler into the new truck because it's higher than the old one.. she's afraid I'd flip over..not make it home and she'd have to shovel the snow...
