I used to before moving to Michigan.  I'd guess about 200 trips to the con.  OP, name looks familiar...on irate?

Yeah, I'm still in Michigan.  Lots and lots of lm and sm bass in the area with 40-50 fish days rather common.  No shortage of pike as well, which are rather tasty btw.  Anybody heads this way in their travels give me a shout.

I'm gimped up enough to quit standing up on my kayak a long time ago.  Neither at Berryessa or the local (very clear) lakes here has standing up in the kayak to sight fish for bass been beneficial for me.  I occasionally see carp or splake that are moving through when fishing from my boat but stationary fish ala pike and bass, not so much.  Visibility here with a calm surface is pushing almost 20 feet.

ymmv

Yeah yeah yeah.  I still get the geebies when I find wolf tracks in the snow that I made 20 minutes earlier.  There are a couple of packs close to me.  We had tracks 5 feet off of our deck 2 years ago.  Fished a small creek last year and came across a fresh wolf killed deer.  I do not go out into the woods without a firearm  With that said, I've been lucky enough to hear them multiple times but have only put eyes on one.

Michigan Upper Peninsula

I started using the Carhart thermal full coverage gloves on the yak and while ice fishing.  I can tie knots with heavier line while wearing them but usually just take them off.  They need to come off for tying little stuff while on the ice.  They keep my hands warm (single digit temps) and  have enough dexterity to do most tasks.  A major plus is they are easy to put back on with wet hands.  The fabric on the back of the hand is not waterproof but the remainder of the glove is.  An added benefit is they are cheap with good durability.

My farthest has been 12 miles while trolling for salmon but I was never more than about half a mile from shore.  That was in a paddle yack.  I could have gone further but was beat along with torn up hands.  I had decent gloves but wet hands on a paddle for hours were not friendly.

There was a group of 5 trailers pulling into the campground, they were turned away as they had Ca. plates and were informed that they were under Ca. S.I.P. order and therefore mandated to stay in their local area. They were not happy as they had driven over 5 hours to possibly bring us this crap. 
Please do not plan to visit this or any other small community until this is over, just stay home in place and we will all be through this sooner than later.

As the saying goes, stupid should hurt.  In this case it was $$$$$.  I don't even live in Ca and would know better than driving 5 hours to the cove to go camping.

Yes, stressful times indeed.  I'm working retail and having customers cough and sneeze on you, or a co-worker that thinks covid-19 is fake news that does the same and handles common equipment, makes it tough to stay.  The employer would have a really tough time if myself or the other full time employee left.

I'm in a low density area with a high proportion of elderly that will get hit hard if they catch it.  Many of them are floating the river in Egypt, and just don't comprehend.   There are only 3 cases so far in the Upper Peninsula, and non in our county, but the snowbirds and people from down state are starting to head this way to "escape".   

I've got a broken toe, so hiking out on the ice to fish is not going to work.  I'm waiting for the ice to break up and get some time on the yak, another three to four weeks, to chase some lakers and splake.
