Title: Feels great sitting on ice again
Post by: triplej on Dec 15, 2017, 08:30 AM
3 days in a row now I been sitting on ice. Feels great, 2.5" of ice on my pond and 2.5-3" on a few other private pond I fish. Just be careful out there I know things are starting to lock up but always remember safety first.

Made it out myself this evening on the Sally. They started fishing there on Tuesday. Evening bite has been good and last hr to the time I quit at dark was good. I think I get two more days before the warm up drives us off.

Jealous. Scouted some local water before work and found 1 inch of Crystal clear ice. Week of warm-up prob going to keep me off until the next freeze. Gonna take advantage and fly fish next week and chase some winter chrome!
