Have you gone out on the lakes yet and seen dead fish (mainly panfish) floating around when ice are thawed out? I have, and I never really knew the reason why so I did some quick curiosity research and the MN DNR explained it well: "The retreat of ice from ... shorelines may soon leave a grim reminder of winter's effects around some lakes and ponds: dead fish.
In most cases the dead fish are the result of a normal process known as "winterkill." When snow and ice cover a lake, they limit the sunlight reaching aquatic plants. When the plants die from lack of sunlight, they start to decompose, a process which uses oxygen in the water. If the decomposing plants use too much oxygen, the fish die.
Some species of fish are more vulnerable than others to winterkill. Trout are the most sensitive species. Bluegill and largemouth bass are also quite sensitive to lower oxygen levels. Walleye, northern pike, carp and crappie species have intermediate tolerance to lower oxygen levels, while bullheads and fathead minnows are the most tolerant of low oxygen. Winterkill seldom results in the death of all the fish in a lake. Chronic winterkill lakes (those which have frequent winterkill events) are usually dominated by bullhead species.
Winterkill can have some beneficial effects. Winterkill in lakes with overabundant panfish can result in increased growth rates of the panfish that survive. Winterkill can result in greatly reduced carp abundance, allowing for improved water quality and increased success of subsequent fish stocking efforts." #winterkill #panfish
Putting the Dorado’s stability to the test with a plank walk. No hesitation standing in this either.

@rockarm004 lifting his #feelfreelure115 over his shoulder with ease. Reminds me of the good old sit-in kayak days that I could do this to.

My kayak fishing journey started in 2014 with a sit-in Perception Sound. Two years later, I met Tyler @smallcraftfisherman and he introduced me to the @feelfreeus kayaks and I’ve been a proud #feelfreelure and #feelfreedorado owner since. The three photos towards the top were different ways I mounted the Perception 105, Lure 10, and Lure 115 (you can see the video on my YOutube channel @cxfishing. Although I miss the feeling of carrying a kayak over my shoulder, the #feelfreekayaks have helped me land some huge fish and allowed me to comfortably fish in extreme and calm waterways with ease. Glad to be a part of the #feelfreefishingteam.
Yeah, green’s my favorite color 🙃
