we came up from CT last week, great fishing, I will be going again the week of the ninth, just cant get enough of VT, awesome fishing and we hit several spots did well in all of them especially considering first ice trip there and wasn't sure where to go, but bruce had a ton of info that saved me a lot of driving and great bait. this time were staying at his place, its nice to be able to just walk out and fish. good luck to ya defiantly worth the ride
