The Landing Net by Darl Black

This has been one very weird winter with cold and ice arriving in early December, only to

be followed by repeating cycles of thaw and re-freeze each month. We had an incredibly
warm late February with many people believing spring was coming extremely early. Not
me, however, so I am not surprised by this week’s weather
leading into the First Day of Spring. However, with the Feb
thaw there was an incredible walleye bite the Allegheny River
for those who ventured out. Check out the Livewell Page for
many of photos I could not fit in the individual reports.

Warmer weather is coming, but for now we can only reflect
on past seasons to visualize what is ahead.
