How is ice fishing on Lake Darling??

Was there not too long ago, nobody seemed to be catching anything. I pulled up one 14" walleye in like 11 feet, water clarity horrible.

Canada must be releasing a lot of water , or it this typical of lake Darling ?

Canada has only been releasing enough out of the dams up north to maintain a live stream and prevent fish kills this winter. We had warm weather in January that saw some snow melt and runoff over the last couple weeks. Of the 3 Canadian dams, only Boundary and Grant Devine are expected to fill this spring. Rafferty is not expected to fill based on the amount of snow above Rafferty.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the difference in temps between the hills and there , I was in fargo during the thaw ,when we got home it looked like we still had the same amount of snow.

Right, those trees do a great job of keeping the snow safe during brief warm spells.
