My prediction from last month - that winter would eventually get colder - was way off; so much for making the safe bet. The ice in most areas hasn’t grown much, and with unprecedented January temperatures crossing the 50- and 60-degree barriers across the upper Midwest in recent days, it has receded or disappeared in others. But like most outdoors enthusiasts in the region, the extended autumn has provided a chance to hone skills in very unique settings, which if this trend continues, may become more and more prevalent in the coming years. |

The noise in the pines behind me grew until it sounded like a rushing spring waterfall on the North Shore. I had been on the ice just long enough to set up my hub-style shelter, drop my Vexilar transducer and land my first fish of the new year when the fabric around me began to shake violently. Suddenly with a pop and a flash of white, I was rolling across my newly drilled holes as the heater, sonar and bucket chair toppled around me. I looked up and watched the alternating red-and-black-and-red-and-black of my shack rumble across the frozen lake, propelled by a wind gust of at least forty miles an hour which had sprung up from the only moderate breezes I had experienced to that point.
