Bass-turd Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hey everyone, with these warmer temperatures I've been wondering if its time to put the ice fishing rods away and start dreaming of soft water opportunities. I've always loved casting for trout in the spring but was curious just how early these fish can be targeted from shore. What's the earliest in the year any of you have gone casting for trout with any kind of success? Much appreciated BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Anytime if the shore is clear of snow mounds and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Just watered the dog and took a flashlight out to check the bare spots on the grass ....sure enough I saw a dew worm ! The sun warms that area up quickly . But it ain't over yet !! Mr.Jack Frost is on his way to remind us ....don't put your woolies away yet !

Rocks/shoreline get very slippery with snow and ice on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-turd Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 All the replies are much appreciated, thanks... I’ll probably be giving it a shot as soon as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-turd Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Well I got out today in the evening for about an hour or so, weather was absolutely amazing. Went 0 for 1, had what looked like either a laker or brown on for about 15 seconds and unfortunately it shook me off. It seemed a pretty decent size, was pulling hard, nice to have that feeling in the rod again, gonna try again soon. Fish was hooked on a 5 inch smelt imitating minnowbait, nothing touched the cleos.
