fletchers puddle

[smythe]

I've been going up to fletchers pond for a few years now, usually only a weekend trip per year, and have not have a whole lot of luck besides an occasional hammer handle. Does anyone catch much there anymore? or is it all just talk of the good ole' days.

Good ole days...from what my dad says...no weed control...need to use topwater..to get nething big..in summer...

I was just up there this past weekend. We had 19 flags between the 2 of us on Saturday and Sunday. Only a few small perch and bluegills but some nice pike to be had.

n e biggin pikes?...i bet your legs are sore from running for tip ups

[dtownalltheway]

If you don't get to em' quick they get caught up in the stumps...ranged from about 20" to 27" With average right around 24. Had a couple big ones on but lost one at the hole that was pry 35. It was a lot of fun....I was talking to some guys and they said the perch action doesn't really pick up until Feb...I dunno tho

[smythe]

Cool, thanks for the report. Sounds like you had a decent amount of action, i'm headed up there this weekend.

Smythe, out in front of the public access and to the right towards Jack's Landing.  You have to pay to park at Jacks though. 

Biggest problem up there, is continually checking your bait (tip-ups) to make sure they didn't get hooked up in some weeds.  Lots of hammer handles, but every year they pull off +44" pike.  Its a fun 'puddle' to play at.

Yeah, I think we're headed over there this weekend. Anybody know if there is anyone driving trucks out there yet? 

[dtownalltheway]

Yeah there was about 16" of ice. Lots of trucks out there...just watch out for the pressure cracks

heard of numerous limits of nice crappies at last ice last season from some ex locals
