Bidding a Fond Farewell
« on: Mar 17, 2008, 12:49 PM »
Well guys, sketchy ice conditions reported from Promised Land have likely signaled the end of the hard water season for me. So, I just wanted to tell all of the “last ice” guys to be extra cautious and to say “farewell to all” until some time in December when that first blast of cold air whips through the area.

Have a wonderful spring/summer/fall… thanks once again to the site Mod's, it’s been a blast this season (as always)… and now on to other passions NOT involving ice!  ;)

Nice Bushkill brownie from last May

Yeah I would certainly enjoy that! Here's another shot of that same fish... he has well-healed, but kind of messed up "jaw flap" likely from a previous encounter with another angler. It will be interesting to see if we meet again this spring.  ;)

Yup, the crowd on here has gone to other places. It was, for the most part, a good year, both on here and on the ice. I am hoping for at least 3 or 4 more days on top during the next week or so, but I must admit that with gas prices where they are, I am looking forward to launching the boat from the back yard, literally.
Thanks to all who provided info in the reports/conditions section and to those who engaged my mind in the general section.
Have a great spring/summer/fall and get ready for that first post about the long term winter forecast.

BTW Dizzy, that is a nice trout and a very nice pic.

I'd like to extend thanks to all who provided useful info, and especially to the mods who keep this place going. Thanks to everyone who released nice fish and kept only what they needed; may it bring you good luck in the future! Time to dust off the fly rod, and go over my soft water equipment. Be safe everyone, see you next season.
