It might be 43 degrees out but that South wind is fierce.
I went out long enough to take some photos and wet a line for about 15 mins, nothing happening.
It's a weird day because for the first time in weeks my bird feeder is empty and the the Tundra Swans and Canada Geese that have been on the pond for over a month are gone.
Nothing hit my deer feeder areas last night.

This is a view of the long narrow end of the pond that leads out to the main pond,this is the key to having open water.  |

Both my wife and I notice our spring allergies kick in yesterday. Maybe the animals got the same que and heading to spring-summer locations.

It's amazing that we can catch fish through the ice, but let the ice leave the pond and the pond is devoid of fish until the water temps hit the upper 50's.
That is unless you stocked trout in there. They don't care, they will bite until the water warms up to the upper 60's.

You on a diet just not near enough fish on that plate Looks good as always I deep fried the fish in the garage while I enjoyed a beer or two so I had to repeatedly test sample the fish to make sure I was doing it right. Trust me I can eat fish like there's no tomorrow.  |

Trust me I can eat fish like there's no tomorrow. How many cans does it take per test to get it right. |

Both my wife and I notice our spring allergies kick in yesterday. Maybe the animals got the same que and heading to spring-summer locations. Yep. I drove around all day yesterday sneezing and forgetting to stop at the drug store. Finally got some Zyrtec last night and forgot to take it this morning. Spent another day sneezing. |
