Thanks for the update. 2 feet is better then the 4 plus last year when I got into town.
I'm excited, the car is packed and I will be hitting altmar in about 32 hrs. We ar in until Monday afternoon. Hopefully nothing drastically changes with the flow

Hope you hooked up Rich.
And more importantly - had a great time.

Never fished that area till bout 3 years ago- liking it.

Nice fish Tuna!  You sure are getting your monies worth out of that Frabill ice jacket!

Pink worm crushed them , thanks for the tip Clint.
The chromer fought well and took me into the backing. As for the others, they came in pretty quickly. Honestly, a laker through the ice fights more then most winter steelhead so I'm not ready to give up my ice fishing, lol.
No fish today.
Behind tailwater at 500 flow is tough. The channel is on the opposite side and I needed to use a float , spinning rod, to get a drift. The fishing is so so back there with 2 smaller fish landed.
I'm home now but glad I went to get my fishing fix. Met a lot of REALLY nice folks on the river, that's what made the trip fun.
Obviously there was the 1 or 2 blowhards but the majority of folks were friendly and we took turns sharing prime water and telling fish stories.
Not sure if I make it back this season but the total experience and lodge was well worth the time spent.

Thanks Rich W, I absolutely LOVE that jacket

Sat I went 6 for 12. Sunday with the cold temperatures, 1 for 2 and today 0-0.
I only put in about 8 hrs total fishing time . Mostly 2 hr stints

Didn't take a lot of pictures but here are 2 more fish

Whewwww... looks like we dodged the storm, (3/20) here in NW PA. Bit gusty with the winds out of the East but not unbearable temperature wise.

Now I can get back to reclaiming land along my bayou, cutting down a gazillion (+/-) thorn trees. Folks on the East Coast and neighboring counties may wonder what the strange glow in the sky is, when I light the brush piles, next winter. Come to think of it, so might my local fire department???😕

BeenThereDoneThat
 
 

It's the storm that keeps on giving....😡 Stupid snow!!!

MAKE IT GO AWAY!!! lol

Monday through Tuesday we were suppose to see 1 to 2" then we weren't and we didn't. Made for a good time to harvest thorn trees for a future bonfire.

But what a surprise when I looked out the window this morning. 😖 Still coming down and it looks like we may be in the direct track of the storm for quite sometime.

Weather dude says we should see sunshine and warm temperatures returning by Friday so I suspect all this new snow should be gone by Summer. lol.

Keep that info coming on your gardening HT. It gives support to inquiring minds wanting to know, where the hell is Spring???

Time to go warm up the 284 but today, it won't be brush I'll be pushing into piles.

total of 26 inches over the two days
not alot for some, but hammered this area

After many predictions of a foot or more we we got about 1/4 inch ( if that) ---already melted.
Never even stayed on my dry driveway here in south central ct.

We got nothing from the latest, the temps have been cold as on 2 degrees at the beginning on the week, but are starting to moderate. Snow pack is down to less than a foot on the ground. It is melting nice and slow. It may be time for a few after work trips as I will be able to get about 2 hours in soon enough. Spring cleanup will start soon enough

Dang brother, stop that stupid weather map it's killing me as no matter I must go outside. Kidding about that .Since I don't watch or base my day much off weather, I do like your maps as that's my only real exposure to a weatherman:).

No much sun here today but wind has helped on the drying up mud . Rain bad for me right now . I got lots to do this week outside. As Neil Young just sang on the radio with Lukas , digging in the dirt . I don't want to be a mud farmer.
Neil and the Promise of the Real gang just put out a Netflix movie today called Paradox.
Haven't seen it yet but been listening to the tunes today.

Hunker down you BTDT folks spring has sprung in the northeast

Rain can stop anytime now honestly. Planned on hitting some water yesterday surprise surprise it rained all day. Planned to hit some water tomorrow and rain rain rain....

Temps are moderating here with some 50s coming. Got alot of sap  Monday and Tuesday but hardly any today. One more run the weekend. Snow is going fast. There may be a river bump soon if it rains

Was a lovely day out my way with temps holding near 50F. under cloudy skies. Still not stable enough weather to powerwash the house. Gonna need a few warm days and nights for complete drying to allow for treating the exterior then hope like hell, down don't come down the rain and wash away the stain.

Could of, should of, would of, hit a local lake today if it weren't for the continued need, for harvesting of thorn trees. 8 more hit the ground before being dissected and neatly arranged for drying where they shall remain, for the next six months. At that time and pending moisture content, each tree shall be treated with a flammable liquid followed by several hours of heat treatment producing an end product high in calcium carbonate and a bit of potash.
