Hey guys, I just want to compliment you all on what seems to be a great fishery, and how courteous and friendly everyone was.
I checked the ice on Morey at the resort, and found 4-5", but I didn't venture any further than the resort's checkers had gone. Someone had gone through across the way (and is okay), but they didn't want anyone on the ice, and I didn't see anyone at the boat launch, so I went to Fairlee so I wouldn't cause a huge fuss.
Since it was a last minute thing, I hadn't seen the map of Fairlee. I asked a guy for a general outline of the depths, and what the heck swims in this lake??, and he was very nice about answering my questions. Nobody in my area (off the boat launch) was getting anything. I got one flag and lost it.
I went back the next day and got 2 hit and run flags in the same hole.
The bait at Fogg's was excellent. I went back this morning to get more for one last outing in NH on my way home. Those guys were really great too, answering all my silly questions about the bait regulations.
Stay awesome, Vermont.
