Scouting with Cold Hands - No Walleye

[MNtransplant]

What a beauty of a morning! I snuck out for a few minutes to scout an area along the LS where I thought I might find some early walleye action. No such luck but glad I decided to check it out. There's something awesome about being the only guy out there walking the banks of an icy creek while the Turkeys squawk to life in the background. Again, no fish caught or seen but it was cool to see the different contours through the clear water and take some mental notes of where there is some gravel and rock transition for later this spring when the whites start a runnin'

Lots of ice along the bank and when I crossed the bridge at Aldrich there was a thin ice cover as far as you could see. Maybe we're still a few weeks away from the walleyes moving into the creeks or maybe I was just on the wrong creek

Has anyone else been as crazy as me to start exploring yet?

Sounds like a great day with nature.  I hit up our little subdivision ponds last weekend, one still had some ice on it, and the bass I did see were still really sluggish.
