Jim, I agree with you 100 percent but this year it's going to be probably a little better than other years due to the amount of snow we had this year....when this mess finally does melt and we get open water, that snow is going to put so much oxygen in the water, which will provide weed growth and cover for feeding fish, as well as fresh water which the fish are more than welcoming(again that relates to oxygen and stimulus) that alone is going to make the fish very active and feed heavy..... I believe this spring is going to be excellent all around for those who put the time in!!!....Let's get em good everyone and to all have a great year fishing this state for everything it has to offer!!!
