Sun Fish Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 This is always fun. I'm going to guess last week of March around the 26th! Quote
Dogmatic Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Just in time for fireworks, July 4th! (In reality, March 31st) Quote
Sun Fish Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I was on the water March 9th in 2013 These brutal Februarys need to stop! Quote
PAGreg Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I was on the susquehanna on March 13 of last year. It wasn't until the second week of April until the lakes opened. I'm thinking it's going to be later for the river this year but about the same for the lakes. I hope so, we have a tournament scheduled for April 11! Quote
Sun Fish Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 I'm really hoping its late March. I have a tourney on the 5th and the 11th also in North Jersey. Last year we had one the first weekend of April and we made ice out by literally one day and it worked out. This year is going to be another nail biter but the long range looks promising. Quote
PAGreg Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Extended forecast is showing 50s and above freezing lows for 5 straight days beginning the 11th! Just what we need. Once we get rid of the snow pack on the ground, things will start to happen quickly. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 This weather needs to warm up real soon, how many times must I reconfigure my tackle? Quote

Dyna7329 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Over the weekend, Coplay News Agency posted that there is 17" of ice on Leaser Lake. I'm imagining it's similar or more on Beltzville, Nock, etc. I hope this forecasted warm up comes to fruition. 1 Quote
Dylcook91 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Today its going to snow, tomorrow is gonna be 50 degrees, then Thursday snow again. I'm hoping late March /early April the waters will be fishable. I remember two years ago catching bass in late January. No matter how long it is, its gonna seem like forever. Quote
PAGreg Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 No matter how long it is, its gonna seem like forever. Absolutely. In this case a little hope is worse than no hope. Quote
jdl2425 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 My buddy and I will be fishing Lake Norman near the end of March. I hope the ice has melted here by the time we get back, because I won't be able to stand coming from an area with fishable water to an area with hard water. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 Extended forecast is showing 50s and above freezing lows for 5 straight days beginning the 11th! Just what we need. Once we get rid of the snow pack on the ground, things will start to happen quickly. That's what I have seen in extended forecasts for the past three weeks. Then it turns to highs in the 20s and 30s with snow Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 Will have to buy more tackle then Quote
Dyna7329 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Will have to buy more tackle then Word is because of the bad weather, Wacky Worm extended its Spring Sale through March 15. 20% off all rods & reels, 30% off all Quantum rods & reels, 10% off pretty much everything else. I've made the trip twice in two weeks, a third may be in order. 1 Quote

I hope the ice has melted here by the time we get back, because I won't be able to stand coming from an area with fishable water to an area with hard water. Hear that! Just got back from NC, Lake Willey & Norman, weather sucked and so did the fishing, but at least we were on OPEN WATER! It's depressing coming home to this crap weather and hard water. Quote
Sun Fish Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Will have to buy more tackle then And more rod upgrades! 1 Quote
FishheadNJ Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Feels like never! I hope first week of April though. Quote
PAGreg Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm still waiting for all of the backordered stuff I ordered from tw to come. Just got an email this morning that stuff I ordered in December shipped. At this point I don't even remember everything I ordered! Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 On brighter news, my new boots for rain/snow fishing work Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 And more rod upgrades! Too funny, this will never end! The drive to find better and more comfortable gear for conditions shouldn't be put down or envied over, I hope we don't run into bad seeds again like that this season. Woke up to a soggy snow Quote
Sun Fish Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 The long range is looking awesome if it holds true.... .First week of April should be no problem! Quote
chrisdm4 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 i'm going with the 21st of march. with this warm weather coming up will melt all this snow and blow out the rivers, hopefully taking the ice with it. Till the beginning of this month i was still catching trout. once the water is open the fly rod will be on the water! Quote
Sun Fish Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 It would be to long now boys!! First week of April is looking real good if not sooner Quote
