What a difference a week makes. Last week I fished the Berry and got on just fine early but by noon it had softened and the slush was bad. I almost got stuck pulling the sled off with my snowmobile. I also saw an abandoned snow dog stuck in the slush. I figured spring fishing might be over but I tried again yesterday and it was great. Surface is solid and machines stayed on top. No access problems whatsoever and fishing was as good as usual. There is a pocket of slush in between the snow and ice but we never saw it except for when we released a fish because it kept washing in to our holes and floating up so we had to keep skimming slush. Bring your auger extension because you have to drill more than 3 feet to hit water. As long as the nights stay cold I'm hopeful for another trip.
