28 degrees in my back yard with a westerly wind @ 3-4 MPH. Don't know what the wind chill would be but the cold moving air, aint having no trouble cuttin through my coat. Brrrrr

Not being one whose glass is half empty, I just smile and say, best get ready ice is on it's way. 👍

Clint, sure hope that stoat ya killed solves your problem. That has to be frustrating as heck. Good luck.

Picked me up a few heads of cabbage a week back and let them age a bit in the cellar. Tomorrow will be Sauerkraut in the making day, what with the cold weather that wont go away.

Be about enough time for fine home made 'kraut to dine as I welcome and wish for a happy new year, to come my way.

Lucky enough the sun was out for 3/4 of the day so outside work is done for the year. It was windy as heck though and it cut through you good.  Got a bref squall at 1800 ground is covered, with grass poking through

24 degrees on our mountain and snow is frozen crunchy. Bucks were active last night with some new scrapes around. Hopefully the wind plays nice and the deer are dumb

I drove through heavy wet snow from Pulaski to Sodus on Friday, and then "Christmas" fished in the Sodus area for an hour or so before using some available shelter to remove my waders.  Very slow on the Salmon River, I am beginning to think DSR has installed a fence, or the run is poor this year, large fish but in very low numbers.  It is past the "two weeks late" point, fished three and a half days for one pull, and 2B got one fish, didn't even see another fish hooked, went low high and in the middle.  Very discouraging.  Those of you too busy to go are not missing anything unless you were planning to go to the kingdom.

Wasn't overly impressed with the Steel run a few weeks ago and haven't read anything to improve that opinion-hope something happens to change that.
The low reports are the best they can make of them -but not impressive- IMHO.
A Spring trip at this point may be pointless.
If guys like you two are only getting a hit or two in a couple days it means that a guy with my skills wouldn't get a tap in a week. lol- sad but truth.

The river keeps changing, and we keep getting older.  You might be surprised at how little skill we still have especially using the RIO heads and swinging.  But even the pinners are doing next to nothing with eggs.

I fished the DSR exclusively this year around Columbus Day weekend.  It was the best steelhead fishing I've ever seen on the SR.  While waiting for a guy to finish fighting a king, I had a steelhead nearly swim up to my waders to hit an orange sucker spawn I had dangling in the water just a couple feet away.

That is depressing news, Lucky. I'm with RG, if you two aren't, then I ain't.   I was going to ask about down in the column, but you answered my question. Like I said, I played with a few, but that was nowhere near the days of yore.  You might have saved me a bunch of gas and  bed money.  I can 
waste time on empty water in my backyard.

At least until there are better reports.  I'm going back for a few days this week, but I'm only 2 hours away, and the local water is blown out.  But I'm likely saving gas after that if it is as slow as it has been.

26 degrees this morning. Bright sunshine with a light South wind.
I don't know about wasting time and money, there are lots of worse ways to do that.
It's strange how 1 guy can post and boast 30 hook ups on steelhead a week ago in altmar and 3 days later the lots are full of cars. Hype, probably. I take stuff like that with a grain of salt.
Posts like L-13 seem realistic and I try to split things to figure the difference.
To me it may be how the person is fishing, example, you guys are swinging and not dredging. Something in between might be the difference. Pink worm or peaking nymph time ?
Anyway, getting out hunting or fishing is never really a waste of time no matter the results.
I spent over $200 in preparation to sleep in a 6X10 box on our property. Put in 14 hrs in 1 tree with nothing to show. Today I did the death march to sit in another spot .
The deer are NOT moving at all during the day , the rut is not on yet .
Shoulda kept my big mouth shut and not count my chickens before they hit the basket. Tough going and lots of time spent staring at trees.
I will be leaving today and return to the box on Wednesday until the following Monday

PS:
From January- April, tailwater is $105 a night sunday- Thursday. I'll be wasting some time there and at least it will be nice and comfy.

Good luck with both fin and fur Rich, hope you score with both.
Your right- its the experience and not the weight of the game bag that counts.
That said , we are predators and once in a while ya gotta score.

40 hrs hunting woods in 5 days so far. Not counting the prior scouting.
I'm a predator and yes it's gets frustrating but I know, it only takes 1 .these are on our cameras and in our woods. No place I'd rather be right now.

Weather looks terrible up there starting tomorrow night. Snow and lots of it.

I don't have unlimited funds and time, so there is such thing as waste.  I'd rather do something for the elderly or vets instead of playing around to not much end. To each their own.

Me neither. Things like that and this are on a budget with help from friends. Nothing much today comes without another $20. So whats 1 more.
If fishing or hunting are my vacations with friends and family , I'll take it.
I can't afford to get on a jet airplane

Wet, wet and wetter here today. Snowing up on my mountain.
Regroup by a hot fire today before I head back to the woods tomorrow.

It felt good to take a hot shower instead of washing outta a cold water bucket, lol

The LE event did not amount to much. Covered the ground and not much else. Coldest air of the season tonight, glad the fire is going. A few more days till vacation and hopefully some fishing

I could not stand another day staring at trees so I cut some instead.
Pretty nice to relax. It seemed everyone in this episode was in that state of mind tonight.
Focus tomorrow.

Starting to snow in Cuse but nothing here yet. Last day of work tomorrow. Here is hoping for some snow so I have a light day tomorrow so I can get out on time. Still have to get the plow on the truck so I hope it stays below a foot from this next one

We got 8" + here in SE Pa and the roads are a mess,Rt 78 is closed for miles and most local roads are clogged with vehicles that are stuck.I am puzzled by the extreme reactiom to this storm.I did notice that when I went to the store yesterday before it started falling that the highways were not pre treated with ice melter as usual,could that be the reason for the traffic mess?

I got over a foot of snow/rain/snow.  What was light and powdery last night is now water logged and heavy.

Re:Weather thread 2018/11/16 13:42:41 (permalink)
pafisher when I was running the highways and byways of PA, the worst stuff to fall IMO, is the heavy wet stuff.

Packs into ice as soon as traffic passes over it.

The pretreatment is great for freezing rain or light fluffy snow as long as the temps (road surfaces) remain above the single digits. But let the surfaces be too cold and the light fluffy stuff melts, it will refreeze. SWEET!!! Bridge surfaces are notorious when pretreated then left unattended.

Only takes one vehicle like a single axle tractor pulling a set of pups losing traction and BINGO, traffic jam.

Hopefully that's what caused the problem and not an accident.

But once stuck and unless "chained up" nobody gonna go no where in them big trucks.

Good stuff, big trucks bring it....... unless they is in a ditch!!

My call to bail yesterday was right on the money.  The few fish that are there were not biting anyway, and we got back just as this mess got started at home.  If we stayed, we would have likely been stuck in the motel, and then driving back through the cleanup!

Not discounting the decision.
For me it's if I'm gonna do it, I have to deal with the hand dealt.
My 2 trips last season were both severe snowfalls, 3 feet and above. I fished.
It seems every time I come up here to deer camp it some sort of weather event.
It sucks for sure but as I said, it only takes 1 . Its that 1 that keeps me coming.

Have a fantastic days ahead with families and friends for the upcoming holiday and new year

If it had just been me, I could have stayed longer, but 2B had to get to work today (I do to, but as a volunteer, I can call in if I am stuck somewhere).  By PM yesterday, I figure the lots were plowed out, and I had some food and pop so I could have survived at the lodge tying flies for 1/2 day.  What I avoided was having to drive through it on the way home, and about 80 of the 110 miles were in that 16" snow belt Cliff experienced. 
 
Good luck with the goats!

It's going there folks. Stay warm and fat from the feast ahead. Stoke the fire.
Teens tonight, singles at my mountain.
Sub zero tomorrow night, I'll be there first light.
Yup, after this weekend it's time to start the 2018-19 ice thread.
I passed some locked places in this past week.
