Fished with Daryl on Woodburn Lake. Temperature this mid morning was 21 degrees with a north wind of 5 to 10 knots. By the time we were done fishing it was a balmy 34 degrees. The sky was blue and the sun was bright and that was a good thing. We launched the boat on Bruin Lake, which was half frozen over, went through a canal to Watson Lake, which was completely froze over, through another canal, which was half frozen over, through Patterson Lake, which had the most ice on it (3/4 inch), through another canal to Woodburn Lake, which was only half frozen over, to the canal we wanted to fish, which was completely froze over. We busted the ice in the canal and started to fish. Don't know if it was all the noise we made or it was too cold but we caught no fish so we moved to another canal. This canal was also frozen over so we went towards the island and dropped anchor there. Fished for half an hour without a bite so we went back to the last canal we were at. Broke some ice in the canal and started to fish but we had no bites. By this time the sun was high in the sky and the ice was starting to melt. Made a move back to our first fishing spot and we had a little more open water to fish and we started to catch some fish. Made a few moves around the canal once the ice started to melt and we were able to get to some of the good fishing spots. We caught a lot of fish but we only kept 7 big bluegill. It was definitely an interesting trip.
