Im heading up there sometime this weekend .  will report on ice and other essentials.  Not a lot of action out of that lake but when you get a flag OHH BOY be ready. Hope that lady with all the luck is one my side this year.  Only managed a dinky six pounder last year and I fished almost every weekend

Fishhed the hollow all day Sat.  3" black covered by about 3" crap crusty snow/frozen(almost) slush the walk on and off was a killer.  Great work out if you need one .  Slow day as usual had my most flags in one day for there tho 5 .  No fish over 24" caught or seen.  rats all around.  better than riding the couch.  Saw a bald eale too

i was there on saterday morning untill 1200 and we had 7 flags our biggest fish was 29 inches and 9 pounds also caught 4 other dinks not a bad day at all for the hollow

[Imissedem]

so the monsters are waiting till after the holidays.What were the ice conditions /now with this rain must be no go.   R.I. ICE is gonna be out of the question for a while. Sure glad i got out on Wed. and Sat.

[ctfishermanct]

ya i didnt see anyone else with any size to there fish maybe thats the answer after the holidays

[rocklobster]

There are no monsters in the Hollow Havn't had a chance to drive by since the rain but it couldn't have helped the conditions to much.  Looks like day time temps in the upper thirties for the rest of the week too :'(Im glad I got out for an early try.  If I have a chance ill check on the ice and report

[rocklobster]

  stopped by after work today.  10-20 foot open water all the way around lake. will need waders and water wings to fish it   calling for more rain tonight.

I have never fished on this lake before, but hope to give it a try as soon as the swimming season is over, any recommendations on where to park and fish???  All information would be appreciated.....that cold snap was too much of a tease, got my ice fishing blood boiling and then its back to sun tan lotion....growing up in northern Vermont, we had ice it seemed year round (don't really miss that to tell you the truth..) but no ice to speak of in January just ain't right....
