Gave it my best shot .

Yesterday it was 41 and sunny , I had hoped it had thawed out the town pond .
But it got down to 21 last night and when I showed up at the pond a little after noon , about half of the pond was still iced over .
With the temperature today near fifty and sunny, I had to fish somewhere.

I drove to the creek below lake McIntosh. After parking at the top of the hill at the entrance of the dam road , I started down the road and didn’t get a hundred yards and I heard a roaring noise and realized they were releasing water .
I knew the water flow would be too fast to fish .
I fished the lake around the dock area for about thirty minutes without any luck . I rarely do this time of year.
Packed up and drove back to the town pond and fished the open sunny side for about an hour without any luck and with a float .
Zilch, zero, nothing, a big stinking goose egg .

The pond had thawed about two thirds of, with the ice on the dam side where I usually have the best luck .
Hopefully the sun today will continue to clear the pond and maybe I can find a fish somewhere tomorrow.
