I am unfortunately not going to have the opportunity to do much of this cold water diving anymore in March :-(
The reason I am able to do it in Saskatchewan, Canada in March when there is normally 3 feet of ice covering all of the lakes is because this particular location stays open all-year round due to the fast moving current. It is just downstream from a Hydro Dam on the South Saskatchewan river...

The good news is that since I did this last March and now, I've become a father to a beautiful, healthy baby girl . The bad news is that I have to be more responsible...At least, so says the Mrs. :-(. I have other burbot locations so I will just wait until the ice comes off the lakes and go at the beginning of May. Probably all for the best anyways, since a person can easily get caught up diving for those snakes, get too cold, and then have trouble making it back to shore in the current.
