Man, I really hate the spring weather roller coaster. It seems like Mother Nature is as fickle as she gets at this time of year. Cabin fever adds to the anticipation of nice days and just when you think the weather has turned the corner it starts snowing or sleeting again.
But a wise man once said that the weather affects the hunter or angler much more so than it does the wildlife or fish they pursue. Sure, cold fronts and storms have their impact on animal movement and a particular bite, but Kansas fish and fowl are used to it.
Another wise man once said not to sweat what you can't control and the weather sure fits that scenario. You might have to move a fishing trip to a creek or secluded area of a lake on days when the wind kicks up. And if it's cold you just have to plan for a trip more like winter than spring.
It's time to catch crappie and walleye. Mushroom hunters are licking their lips in anticipation of the first morels of the season. Turkey hunters are brushing up on their box calls and devising a plan to hit the woods in search of a lovesick gobbler.
Although a perfect day weather-wise adds to a trip, it's not likely to happen now. If you wait for one you might not get out much. Plan ahead and make the best of it no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
Good luck!
