Am I mistaken or has the pressure on the lakes started unusually early this year?

In the past, I have thought the the TYPICAL SUMMER boating and fishing season didin't start until Memorial Day and after. Although there would be a noticable increase in people fishing in early March and April, it never seemed to be as bad as this year. There have been several posts, concering the last couple of weekends, about full parking lots; having to take a number to fish a bank; unusally heavy boat traffic; and other things that usually don't happen (in my experience) until summer time.

I know that we had an unusually (there is that WORD again) cold and wet winter, but we have had that before and it didn't seem to turn the pressure on like it has this year. If it is this bad already, what is it going to be like when summer gets here?
