    Lets hear all of your thoughts on when you will be able to get your first outing. Last year I was out on Dec. 8th. The middle of the lake was open but the ends were frozen. This year I'm saying, Nov. 29th.

    No problem, I think I will be traveling to the NW corner for the first trips though, probably will freeze first there

    I've gotten used to associating "1'st ice" with a Blaine/whoever report from Wood Creek over the years.

    Put me down for Dec 4'th. I'm feeling like a later start this year with a cold x-mas and ice to match.

    I got on CT ice in November last year.  I would consider myself lucky if I could do the same this year.  First or second week of December and I'm happy.

    Hopefully thanksgiving weekend for a few smaller ponds with some larger lakes locking up by mid-December.   I’m really dying to get out on the ice again this season so hope it’s a nice cold winter!   Grin

    I hope it's not till Jan. 1st! Just when I was ready for ice season and put away all the soft water gear I found out the state dumped a bunch of breeder salmon in the local lakes! Shocked Shocked Shocked
     I never caught one before, and the guys on the lakes say they are VERY hard to catch this time of year.
    Huh.  Roll Eyes
     I just put in three days fishing with my fly rods and got a 4, a 5 and a 5 3/4 lb.  I lost an 8 lb'der next to the canoe after 10 minutes fighting! All this on a 4.4 lb tippet! I'm lovin November!!! Shocked  I'm packing the freezer with salmon and roe ( I roll a lot of sushi).
     I love ice fishing, but right now I'll take open water, thank you. Grin
