We have had one of the mildest winters I have ever seen.  Warm and sunny with more days than usual without wind lately.  I have the best face tan!  Good fishing weather.  Starting mid January the season opens for perch, where we use a smaller net and head out to the middle of the lake where the huge schools of fish move around.  We have many theories on what drives these fish but the only good sign I know is when the fish are in our nets.  These fish are kicking fresh when we take them to town where they are packed in ice and wisked away to Winnipeg and then to the world!  Mostly the eastern seaboard.  As always I have seen some awesome sights here are some pictures.
