As the days grow warmer and the salad begins to bloom I look at my frog stick and think about favorite ponds more and more. Does the action at the edge begin when they're building nests? Seems like last year once they were on their nests it was nothing until summer (not that I want to catch nesters) trying to find a window of opportunity to scratch my itch
update 4/25/2013- checked out one of my favorite ponds today (cost me 13 ticks!!) and the males were cruising the shoreline looking for suitable nests. no action on topwater, couple on senkos.
