You have a 1400+ release now with 1/4" to 1/2 " of rain in the forecast for Saturday.  Looks like it may have been a little too much rain dancing.  But the other ditches could be prime.
 
My rod may come out of mothballs on Saturday for the day they are talking 42° around here, and the genny is at good flow and clarity.  I was going to take the ride up north, but I don't do 2000 ( don't even care for 1400!).

180 lb 4 1/2 year old 9 pt just before noon today- came right in to a doe in heat can call. 1/2 hour hunt -had just got there and used the call after  bout 15 min.- no dragging- dropped right along side the tote road with a neck shot - drove right in to him .
 One of those rare days afield to be long remembered as everything just went perfect.
Likely eat like old shoe leather.
 
Why the weather thread ???-
today was a nice day----

Congrats on the nice day with 9 points.  Weather was perfect.

Pretty sweet Trev !!! I'm a meat hunter myself and will be starving this winter.. Lol. I did spend a considerable amount of time in the woods but the animals were much smarter then me..
As for eating that monster , never heard of tough ground meat. We grind almost all of our meat.
Again congrats !!!

Weather wise, it was a cold start @18 degs this morning and the ground here on job site is still pretty firm ( on top ).
News some local higher up stuff is locked up . Ton of work detail for me this weekend . Maybe sneak in a day next weekend but my target date for some serious toothy critters is 12/20

Unfortunately I am technologicaly challenged (cant even spell it right) Have never sent a photo and don't even know how to do it on my phone- yea- real caveman.
Have always kinda wished I could send some Sr photos or animals.
Could never even figure out how to insert one into my E Mail.
Guess this kind of ability skips generations lol- My oldest is an accomplished tech manager.

thanks Tuna will have to put  some photos in those places to get at them

Sure sounds like you deserve the ENTIRE weekend off Charlie , wow!!
Not sure if the river is to your, our liking . She is running pretty good for a fly flicker.

Pouring rain out here @35 degs.. So much for my thoughts of local ice so far. If it drops down in temp sharply it may be a good thing, if it just continues to melt away , well , start over I guess.
The rain today also shoots down any plan I had of getting out early and cutting up a bunch of firewood that fell from last weeks winter storm. Ah well many other projects to get going on ..

I'm trying to get out now, but I had to change the entry way lock, and the wife is an hour late getting home and will need a new key to get in, so I'm stuck.  Rain has passed here, Buffalo radar says clear to the west of us, local ditches are rising rapidly and the big muddy is holding at a nice fishable level.  May have to postpone until tomorrow, but it is not supposed to be as warm.

Was fair starting in the early afternoon. Went to a few b ball games and out to see my granny

I sure hope L`13 gets into them real good and shares some pics to brighten my sprits..
 
Pretty much poured all day yesterday and turned snotty overnight.. Clear and hovering at the 32 deg mark this morning..
In the mist of all that rain , disaster struck.. I noticed a small leak in my only 5 year old roof .
How long it's been leaking, I don't know because its in an area of my house the we don't frequent.. It's a huge addition that has been a storage area until my never ending construction projects brought me out there when I put a woodstove in and started demolition.. I'm pretty distraught over the issue and cant find any visible signs of a problem from above..This really blows chunks as it will hold up putting any sheetrock up until most likely spring when I can address the roof itself..  UGH !!!!
 
On a good note:
I unexpectedly got GREAT seats to go see Hot Tuna Electric at the one and only Egg Theater tonight in Albany... Maybe I can drown my sorrows away ..

Weather was cold, breezy, but nice. Would have been a nice day to fish, but I did some shopping with the wife and nephew and ate at the Iron Skillet which gave me indigestion. I found it easier to take him with me and just let him pick out the stuff he wants. We did get a nice pair of boots for ice fishing.

No fish this past weekend and the weather and chores looks like mothballs for the fly gear at least until after the holidays.  May follow the DEC advise and re-spool the jigging rods.

Clint I'm gonna wait to see what happens with this one. The advisory issued seems to have some uncertainty. The ground is pretty bound up right now so whatever drops should stick pretty good

Drove the 6+ hrs from my daughters house to mine yesterday to find my chore of the day waiting for me,a pine tree that fell across the driveway at the top of the hill just before the house.So out came the chainsaw and about a hr of sawing and dragging it was clear to proceed to the garage.
Rained all night and tomorrow we get some snow.......I hate winter!
HT,do you have the flatscreen and heater set up? If so you MIGHT get me interested

Stripers in the spring? Do you need a first mate......Mollie the Boxer is volunteering.
