Yes, fishing is going on in between the ice flows, today most of the lake south of the town has open water the bays still have ice and the North Arm is all ice. Another couple of warm days and some wind will make a big difference.
Up the Bouche Rd. to visit a swamp before the bugs get to bad. Finally found something that is starting to bud. Around most of the swamps and bogs Leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata) grows like a stunted shrub and is very common. These will soon be bell-shaped white flowers hanging down in a row.

Is it normal Bill to still have ice this late in May ? Also how bad do the bugs get. I always hear that the bugs are bad but what does that mean ?
Ron,
Every once in awile it happens one year there was ice flows for the opening fishing, 3rd week in May. When the bugs are bad the blackflies won't leave you alone and they will eat you alive, just kidding. Auld Reekie means Old Smoky like a fireplace.
thanks for the info Bill. Great to learn more
