We took a trip to Burlington yesterday and of course I had to do a drive by down around the river just to see what was going on. The Miss was mostly frozen with just a small portion open, I believe because of some construction barges in the area. Needless to say there wasn't much going on. Usually I stop by a farm and home store in Burlington so I can walk the aisles of the fishing section but I skipped it on this trip. I had already spent my allowance. No need to look at fishing gear I couldn't buy. Next week I'll get some another allowance.

So far I'm hearing mixed reports about the thickness of the ice in my area. I've heard of ice from five to twelve inches in the area. No catfish yet.
