I remember that vividly........ was in Sconnie for 6 years before relocating down here 3 years ago and this time of the year was brutal. Ice isn't safe but can't launch a boat on "inland" waters. We would always head out on Lake Michigan for the early cohos about this time. Walleye run just ahead of you too.
Good thing is you'll have plenty of moisture for those morels!
