Hi timster, I guess you're talking about the three pics on Bass Pond at Wolf Lake? Yea, I just pulled my truck off the road before the spillway and snapped a few. Been good and cold as
you know, 11 degres will make some ice, now the main lake is skimmed over except a few open spots out in the middle. I haven't ventured out onto Bass Pond to drill a few holes. I leave
that to the young guys. ;D  I don't need to be first, but I do need to be SAFE!!! Do you fish up here?

Hi, Wolf Lake is a private lake in Sullivan County, a little over three hundred acres. Fishing was much better years ago, I've been here twenty five years.
