Well, the air was warmer, about 10c. The ice was thinner, about 1 meter and s o f t. But the dive was just as expected.
Those on the surface were in lite jackets or T-Shirts and getting an early start to a summer tan. The sun was bright and the sky was clear. Just a perfect day.
While under water, the vis was good, but noticable dropping as spring run off is starting to stir things up a bit. But the water temp was still a cool 2c. The fish were also becoming more active and by the looks of it the fishing this year will be very good. By next weekend the ice will not be safe, so this marked the end of this season. Too bad, because now we have to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks before we can get wet again. The only thing for us to do now is to O2 clean our tanks and regs for the summer season, get any hydros or visuals done, and wait. Pictures to follow by mid week.
