Not even noon yet and we're already at the predicted high of the day.... plenty of sun... i wouldnt be surprised if we start seeing the fifties once this warming trend really starts...

While I will never hold a candle to almost all my elder states men in the fishing dept at least I can talk about the weather, there so much to say.. lol
Seeing it changes so drastic these days, today was grey and a bit raw.. So much I decided to just take the cheap easy route and chuck a beetle spin (yesterdays lure)  under the high bridge.. Not a sniff, snag or soul around.. Freakin cold..
Sorry twobob- fish ain't bitting, shoulda been here yesterday..
 
Now this weather:
What is going on in your neck of the woods ?
No run off yet hitting my cricks/river.. No snow of any sort from Albany - Kingston, took ride thata way and last friday the Lake george area had about 6" snow ..
Still a bit to flow through the Mohawk I assume (my favorite word) ..
Local trout streams look in good/great shape.. Aside from heavy rains I don't see any blow outs come 4-1.. For me 4-1 always meant UFZ, last year it did not.. Might be feeling frisky again after work on 4-1..
I hear L-13 has a collection of pins he receives on 4-1.. Kick azz , read about the shocking and I think the weather (this topic) is going to at least put many bends in rods and smiles on faces..
Good Luck out there and have a blast with friends .. PS, pic's please :)
Again unlike many true/blue trout guys  fishing for that strain/species dont start until the weather draws me there.. Ponds gotta thaw and bugs gotta hatch, even if a W&W or Rapala f-7 hammers them ;)
 
 
So what about the weather, has it got you bummed out suites one just fine ? 
Are the fish bitting on the SR ?
 
 
 

Long term looks pretty darn placid. I'm glad to see it not spiking into mass run-off.  Best of luck, Clint. Hope you find the magic seam.

It is rather pleasant... old times do come to mind tuna but still even a little behind. Id love to see a gradual melt as well... but trust me guys, there is a ton of snow up in the tug....

Lucky, i went up this past sunday... check my post on the top of page 10 of this thread...i have pics but no cant post them... i can email if anyones interested in posting them up... as your friend told you, plenty of snow and the feeder streams are wide open

Clint you are the man!!! I may have to elbow my way into the Lfz 1 of these days soon...

Spring has sprung!!!!!

the good thing, no rain either.. nice slow melt with a little drying sun & wind ;)

Charlie have fun.... i'll probably be seeing ya monday. Last sunday i saw roughly 80 cars from altmar to pineville on the northof bank lots... probabaly gonna be more this weekend... two nights in a row of above freezing nights...

Rained pretty good for a few hours, no downpours, but far from a sprinkle. It is not quite so hard now , but a steady light rain.   Good luck to all that go out tomorrow and keep dry.   I fished enough this week to not want to get wet and stand in the wind in the AM before my trip to Rochacha.   Looking good for a after work trip Wed or Thursday though.   I can get in around 2 to 2.5 hours

Lake effect winter storm advisory thru weds
Going to be a fun next few days :)

Bite was slow yesterday and that's what I think happened as the day went on. The lack of sun and the cold run off  (along with the front coming in )  shut them down.

Big HAIL storm passing through here right now.
Is is 3:00 yet, I'm itchin to fish

hot tuna

So would that be considered good water management then ? Lol
Hope to see ya later and discuss all this silliness over a couple tall boys .
I'm sure I will be able to help with any low water conditions after a few cold ones.lol

Lol... maybe a little rise in water temp will be in store...lol... see ta later

Crazy weather huh ? Blinding snow yesterday in Pulaska .
Brite sunshine but windy here today 180 away..
Gosh I hope the wind quits , sun heats and the Stripers come....
 
Stay warm & watch out for falling tree limbs if you venture into the Great Outdoors.. So Malinda told me.. lol
 
 

Water was still very COLD this week with lots of snow up in the woods. -Not much left in Pulaska though..
Just looked at the 10 day and it shows some real warming coming up- especially at night.
 Think the spawn will start  happening around the end of that  time frame with snow leaving and then the water warming  right after.
 Still think it will  be quick since its getting late and IMHO the fish numbers are generally down.
 Hope my schedule allows another trip later in the month.
