Oh geez, If you guys are cooking I'm IN!!! Do I need an invite or can I just crash this party!?
Walleye bite is still good here near the border. Big smallies and catfish soon!!
No invite necessary Spiderman. You are always welcome. Let's make a plan as we get into April. It ain't fishin if we ain't eatin.....
“Something to do while you wait for ice”..............well, I got to meet Steidyj tonight and put a face to a name. We were hoping to do so on the ice somewhere this season but that just didn’t happen. So fortunately he lives in the same town as my mom and I came down here today to take her to a medical appointment. We met at the local brew pub and shared stories. And hopefully we will meet again soon with fishing rods in our hands instead of beer glasses! NICE to meet you Jake! Looking forward to doing some fishing next time instead of just talking about it!
Nice looking fish! Is that a Susky walleye?
Depends on what the water tells us Spider. Trout feed under the surface most of the time, but I happen to be a dry fly fisherman, so I am always hunting for risers. There are no restrictions on what you can fish with so any rod and reel method is legal. Sorry Rutt, jaw-jackers won't work.
Thanks for getting me out of the house Rutt (SNAKEBITE)! What a wild story and experience that was! Very much looking forward to finding some scaley critters with you!Tying flies is a lot of fun and there's something special about catching a fish on something you tied. One thing I want to get more into this year is streamers! Last year was Euro-Nymphing and I've got that to a proficient level, but I really want to find some Susqy, Skook, or Lehigh 16"+ fish with a streamer. Nothing beats the chase and strike of a streamer, but I could make an argument that risers after a dry get your heart going just as much Carpboy!To say the least very excited for spring to sprung and might be putting some hours on the waders this weekend!
it is!!! Might head out later but on the NY side for a few more they should be getting ready to spawn soon up here.
You need a valid passport and also need to submit to a complete strip search at the customs stations on the border of PA / NY at all major crossings in order for you PA guys to extend your season and fish in a real ice fishing state that has ice. We will take your money if you really like ice fishing as much as you claim to. I have my doubts about that. Hardwaterhonkey drives farther than you do to get to good ice
