[bigredcatfish]

give it no longer than two weeks. I talked to someone down in Kansas and they are already fishing. There is a little ice in the morning but gone with with the wind and sun. I went out to Stagecoach to check the thickness of the ice today. It was still a couple of inches thick. I was able to stand on it but heard it pop in areas. The season is almost hear.
