Not a Good Winter for Northern Kayak Fishing

What a winter it was!

We got slammed by big, early snow storms in December, and since then have had a particularly snowy and cold winter, with ice covering lakes and rivers.

Now it’s snowing again – Not serious, really, but enough to discourage any angler planning to take their kayak out and fish the recently de-iced nearby lake, or river.

But kayak anglers had a long time to dream, and plan, and work on rigging projects for their kayaks, and it looks like the coming fishing season is going to be interesting.

Maybe some have decided that fishing out of a traditional sit-in or SOT kayak is no longer an option for them, and enough is enough…

Anyway, one needs to be patient these days – Hold your breath – spring is near, and in fact it’s already here, if only according to the calendar…

    Not good, and a bit too long, with this new snow storm coming out of nowhere…
    You’d better put your kayak fishing plans on ice for a little longer :(

  2. Yeah, I guess you’re right…
