Ice Out Begins!

Rivers are clearing in MA… ponds and lakes are melting around the edges…  you get anywhere from six to twenty feet of open water at the edge. Rest of the ice will be gone soon!

I heard report of a few bass and pickerel up and caught (and released).

It’s happenin’

Keep a tight line!

Spring in New England

Yeah, I know. Corny title.

Nevertheless, it was disappointing to see 14 inches of snow fall only a few days before the official start of Spring. Puts off lake and pond ice-out for a couple of weeks. Rivers and streams are starting to open up though – and those trout like cold water! (Maybe not quite as cold as it is right now…)

Fortunately, it gets warmer, and I just got my gear sorted, reel lubed and loaded; ready to go.

See you out there.
