Lake George Ice Fishing

February 2,2022 Since my last report I’ve been the ice on Lake George has become thick enough for me to be comfortable. I prefer a minimum of 6 inches before starting to venture out too far. Fortunately the weather has cooperated and although heating bills have escalated so has the thickness of the ice. InContinue reading “Lake George Ice Fishing”

January 8th 2022

Winter has finally showed up. Not the full force of winter like we experienced in the past, but just enough to make ice safe for me to go out on. My preference is 4″ and better. What I found was a varied thickness from 5″ to 8″ with a few inches of snow on top.Continue reading “January 8th 2022”

I owe that kid a big thank you because his choice led me on a year long challenge andContinue reading “Yes, You Can Fish One Fly All Season”

You Blinked

On July 4th I said don’t blink because Labor Day was right around the corner. Not only was I right, but I also think summer should have gotten a speeding ticket. It feels like just last week we were finishing up with the summer solstice and Hex hatch on Jabe Pond. Then came the summerContinue reading “You Blinked”

While uploading a seasons worth of photo’s I found the picture posted above and it hit me, the word TIME receives that honor. First, as always TIME just flew by.
