Well it was -20 this morning with 20 mile an hour winds. (-45 wind chill) Perfect day to walk a mile out to an old mine pit and go trout fishing! Needless to say my son, his friend and I had the lake to ourselves most of the day!
Slow fishing, but my son landed a beauty! Not supposed to get above 0 Fahrenheit for the next ten days here.

Good for you, Greyhawk. We're over here in the neighboring Wisconsin north woods. Same cold, this week. Might not break zero, tomorrow. I did a little snowshoeing and even a little fat biking, today. Us north woods folks don't hibernate during the winter.

:lol: I remember listening to Paul Harvey one time and he said people in the Dakotas really didn’t like living there, they just couldn’t get their cars started to leave.

Love it. :) (I actually lived there when I was a youngster.)

haven't heard if the ice on Lake Poinsett in east-central SD has gotten thick enough to support ice fishing or not .... a few weeks ago a fellow and his grandson fell through, both died ....

Likewise here; below zero next 10 days or so. Nice fish.

With below 0 temps I would think it would be getting thicker
