The river has been enveloped by persistent extreme cold this year. Models show continued cold at least until mid February. I think it's going to be a May breakout for sure. More like 2014 than 2019. Unless, of course, it warms up fast!

www.nenanaakiceclassic.com/ice.htmIce thicker now than it has been on any similar date in the last couple of years. In fact, the ice is thicker now than it was at anytime during 2019!

I'm at my house on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, about 65 miles east of what has become the hell hole of New Orleans. Very rural, on an almost deserted five mile stretch of pretty nice sandy beach. I've got plenty of food, TP and 360 degrees of 100 yards or better line of site. I'll be OK. Mostly trying not to focus 24/7 on COVID-19. It will drive you crazy.

And the ice as depicted on the camera is that the current scene or make believe?
Phy sounds great are you allowed to fish and more important would you catch anything if you did.

Mr. Non, I wouldn't catch anything, but plenty of real fishermen down here are catching red and black drum, red snapper, mahi mahi, and an occasional speckled trout. Fresh shrimp are plentiful as well. Saturday I boiled up a couple of pounds I got from a shrimp boat at the docks in Pass Christian, just a few miles east of my house. They were 12-15 count.

You should try fishing its the most obvious waste of time I have ever enjoyed, lots of fuel, beer, no girls and pretend hunting and gathering. an obvious acute lack rape and pillage.
