Re: Fishy 1

My friendship with Matt began right here in the forums, talking about salmon and trout fishing the tribs.

Re: CORMORANTS!!

Looks like the Province of Ontario is stepping up the war on Cormorants. Let's hope New York and Vermont can make it happen too:

It was a fantastic day thanks Matt! Quite the climb to get up there but well worth it. Im glad we were well dressed because it already feels like winter in the higher elevations. Here's a few more pics: https://scontent.fymq3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/44070878_10161177902550413_1661942946716450816_n....

Good job Matt! Im sure Alayna is having a ball spending so much time fishing with her pa pa during the summer break. How did you prepare the bullhead for dinner? Besides the obvious skinning part, is there a recipe you prefer?

I'll try closer to home next time. I enjoy ice fishing but honestly...... I can't wait for April.... https://...

Northern Adirondacks hard water report

Went to one of the few lakes which allow ice fishing in the Northern Adirondacks today. Spent about 5 hours on the ice and man was I happy to have brought a thermos of hot soup with me! Temps varied from single digits below 0 to singles above by mid-afternoon. Saw lots of movement on the flasher on ...
