So Sunday after the Purdue game I thought i would go check out my fishing spot on the Wildcat. I was expacting it to be froze completely over. but there was a stretch that might be fishable.
I thought about for a bit and then I really studied the situation and came up sith some questions. I figgured that if I did catch fish it would take me under the ice and i wasn't sure how my line would hold up to that. Any thoughts? Second there was only a bit of somewhat still water to fish and i had never caught anything out of it before. The rest that was open was riffles. Would ther ebe any fish in the riffles as cold as it is? I figured not.
With those questions posed in my head and no gear with. i decided to wait for another day. I could have taken the dog home and grapped my gear. The more I thought about it the more I thought this is not a great idea. Wade across the riffles to get out on ice the try casting in a samll spot across the current. Plus if I fell in, there was no one around to know i was even down there. Man I was just itchin to throw a line in though.
Maybe I need to go ice fishing on a pond.
