Re: Lamprey Pictures?

Correction: 6-7" lamprey: I've shared a few pictures with Shawn Good at VT F&W, and he suspects "Those could be Bouquet R. sea lamprey, or one of the smaller tribs along the Port Henry shoreline. As fast as we try to suppress them on our 4-year treatment cycle, they pop right back up s...

Re: Round 2

Joe - You are correct. The small inch long parasites that look like lamprey larva are jawless leeches. More specifically Piscicola geometra. While I thought all leeches are smooth skinned, there is a whole class of segmented ones. We saw a bunch on the salmon yesterday. Harmless. I enjoyed sharing t...

Lamprey Pictures?

If anyone has 2024 pictures of salmon with multiple lamprey hits (or multiple lamprey still attached) please post them or send them to me and let me know approximately where it was taken. Fish and wildlife says these 6-7 lamprey are first year fish and they are trying to determine which river they a...

Re: Round 2

Another great day on the Reelax! Catching started quick, and got quicker! We ate well. It was a great shakedown trip for me. The radio "smack talk" and shared information made it really feel like the Frostbite Fleet was coming alive. It was good to see a full parking lot!

Re: Gonna be sad spring for cpmaple

Chad - Hang in there. I missed most of last season with back fusion surgery. I've also had several shoulder surgeries following a collegiate rugby injury. The fish are waiting, and you'll get time on the water. Follow your rehab, and soon enough! Take care!

Re: 50 Hand Tied Flies

Those Golden Stoneflies will fish! Wooly Buggers will be good for much, but especially good for Lewis Creek smallmouth in May and Winooski browns early season. The Clouser looks to be well done. But I don't see 50?! I've been tying a bunch myself lately, but mostly trout stuff.

Re: Lewis Creek Steelhead

Thank you for sharing your interesting thoughts and experience. It certainly makes sense that a "5-6 mos drop back season" in the lake won't provide enough growth to see bigger fish in the system if they are not feeding heavily while in the rivers. You mention Chambers Creek and Memphremag...

Re: Lewis Creek Steelhead

Estaz stone! Nice fly (and fall color.) Great fish! Fishfarmer, given your background can I ask a question?: This fish has a big head suggesting maturity, but why aren't we seeing lake run trout that are longer and heavier? Too few to sample? Not enough forage? Or are these fish spending more time i...

Re: Frostbite Shootout 2023 Results

Congrats FATHEAD. Sorry I couldn't make it. But if I was a betting man, Reggie and Jeremy are tough to beat! The Swenor goes to a good home ... at least for a year! There are many that I missed by not attending... I hope we stay in touch! I ended the night last night in Middlebury which started with...

Re: Ugh!

It's always been my rule to let the Captain tell the story. However, you are usually so prompt with reports, and the conditions were so harsh, I thought you'd let this one go. Thus, I provided a report but I didn't identify boat or crew. Please tell T the poppers were awesome (even the one with seed...

Ugh!

Sometimes we are the windshield and sometimes we are the bug. Yesterday we were the bug. It was deceptively windy at the Converse launch at 6 am. Tree tops were blowing, but in the lot it wasn't bad. We launched just to stick our nose out and it was UGLY (and the forecast was building winds starting...
