Canadian blast hit us a day break today. Dropped our temps into the low 20's and a fresh 6" of snow. Don't expect a break in the cold until after Easter.

I am starting a couple new baits up by my cabin this year and walking in 1.5-2 miles dragging barrels in the snow, rain wasn't fun. I obviously have lots of time to head west to bait so I am keeping busy here.
Nice cold bud light cheered me up once I got back to the cabin ... ;)

Helped a couple buddies put baits in today. Still snow in the bush but manageable. Though quading was tough. Walking in wasn't bad.
