I knew it was a roll of the dice when I plunked down $50 for my first ever fishing license on August 28, 2011. I bought it thinking that even though it was a big price for a short season -- it expires March 31, 2012 -- I’d support the Wisconsin DNR and hopefully start bonding with the hot-pink ice fishing rod Chris got me last year.
Who knew that the weeProject on Loveless Lake would linger well into March, and that the ice fishin’ season would be cut off months early with our freakishly (wonderfully so) warm winter?
On March 6, Chris made a materials delivery to Loveless on what turned out to be a balmy 60-degree record setter. Trucks were still driving on the lake, even though the fishing holes had melted enough to swallow a tire and the tracks were slushy enough to chill a beer.
Good thing the summer fishing season is just around the corner, on May 2.
