Rivers are still solid. Earliest the Nenana river ever went out was April 20. Nenana is kind of the benchmark, that's the one they hold the raffle on.
Only went ice fishing once this year, with a buddy about a month ago. We drank beer and fried up juvenile kings as we caught them, olive oil in a skillet on a Coleman stove right there on the ice. It was nice, and real tasty.

Sounds like a blast. I caught one of those blackmouth kings all the way down here in SoCal once. Smoked it up in a kettle BBQ with mesquite chips. Fine tasting fish but I'll take California halibut any day, PCBs just add flavor.

Wow. A million more and they might have something that will actually make a difference.

That's everywhere, Dave. Around here they're sweating the defense cuts. They've finally realized just how dependent they are on the government teet. They Mayor of Norfolk stated that defense spending alone accounts for ~45% of his cities tax revenues. Newport News stated defense and other federal spending related tax revenues at ~37%. This place will drop like a rock if the cuts are deep enough.
