I thought that it would be good to update people on Rock Lake.
First, the water ran from 34 degrees in the inlet to a high of 39 degrees F at one point. The water is generally very clear, except at the inlet. The ice is off the boat launching spot, the ground is firm, the water about as high as it gets.
The fish are awake, but sleepy. We ended up catching 10 between two of us, but we saw far more that followed up until they saw the boat and turned away at the last moment.
I would say that we did OK, a 3 - 4 for the day, but like I said, the fish were followers today. I kept a few for our diet and was amazed that none of them had anything in their stomachs, so I think we must have awaken them from a deep slumber to get what we got.
