Hey McDude, don't rush things. It is still spring and better stay that way for a while. It sounds as if you want the cold weather to come back quickly.

Warm weather this week-end certainly brought those pesky little critters out. Makes me not like spring so much!!!!

It was WARM. HOT on Saturday. Sunday was cloudy, but still in the mid-70s.

Friday actually brought out more trollers than Saturday or Sunday! It wasn't the bugs, I saw just two blackflies -- that's it for the weekend.

Boats? I watched one offshore (nearly all-white) leave the Broads at ½-throttle...and then opened the throttle wide, passed several trollers -- and about 50 empty lakefront homes -- before turning around and noisefully departing the way he came.

April and May are pretty quiet months on Winnipesaukee. Some things get noticed more -- which I guess is the point of all that noise and bluster.

A pair of military A-10s arced slowly overhead toward Meredith on Friday ("Warthogs", they're called). Reassuring, in these times....

I saw only one caught salmon for the whole three days, trailed behind a boat. Saturday's winds from the previous weekend really pulled in a lot of mud from the shorelines. The water is very murky. I may go still another season without having located my mooring. The murkiness can't help the fishing, either.

Lots of floating wood -- "round and square" -- and just one trash item (cigar wrapper) pulled from the lake. Saw one tiny fish from my dock -- maybe a 2-inch perch -- the only fish in the lake so far this season.

Late Sunday afternoon, two Jet-Skis passed, doing side-by-side drag-starts. A chilly mist has descended, now, at 5:30 PM, and the temps are heading down. Moisture is promised for the week. The lake is still high.

Oh jeez, so there ARE salmon in the lake? Whoops.

It's greener outside; summer would be good but not just yet.
