So I am in a state of depression.  Had a four day trip planned to Simcoe for jumbo perch, and now they are calling for 6-12 inches of snow on the travel day of Friday for the entire route.  Not gonna do that towing a trailer/bike.

Any local updates on Indian ice/water clarity?

Sometimes it pays to hike.   Moved well away from the herd on Thursday.  In fact was no one within 100+ yards.   Crappie started at about 2:30 and did not stop until I had a limit about 4:30.   All came on tungsten 4mm with spike and the tail only of a micro plastic in black. Really nice fish.   Switched over to eyes and nailed 3 over 19" on custom painted silver vibe and 4 throw backs.    It will be a zoo this weekend.  After fishing IL for 20+ years, I have learned one thing as a for sure.......Stay away from the guys with the gas power augers.
