I've also had less than stellar luck at Quincy and Burke Lake the last couple of openers. Dusty used to be great, but is in pretty dire straits right now.

Still, I have a sense of unrealistic faith that sooner or later, my family has got to hit it right on one of these lakes for the March opener.

I'll probably see some of you out there!.............unless I just go straight to Lake Lenore and hope for an early Lahontan bite.
