I started this blog, to have a single place to keep a log, other than in note books or on PC, in MS Word or Excel. With the addition of photos and videos, it became obsolete to keep records in text only, typed or written. Email was becoming unmanageable and just as worthless. The concern of this log becomming public caused reservations in making entries. Well, its the end of the season for some. Being I will always find the opportunity to spend some time on the streams all year, decided it would be time to explore making post. It's purpose is to compile together a one place source for local trout related information.

Croton Watershed 2010-11 Ice fish

Was it a cold winter, the bugs thought so. The Croton East Branch must have seemed so too. The river did not want to give up its normal take of rainbows for most of us. The spillway did not give us the normal heavy flow. Precipitation came to us more as snow than rain. The reservoirs did something not seen for a number of years, they not only froze, it happened early. Last few years we were happy with a week to a month of ice fishing. Unlike places like Maine that freeze over well by the first week of December, some of us here pray for some ice at all. Well this year we had are plenty as ALL the reservoirs did freeze. So we had some other use for our warm weather gear other than hunting or skiing.
Here are a few poorly taken pictures with my 10 year old digital, that kept freezing up its memory while out on the chilly ice. Again here this year I found young new comers braving the temperatures to get in on some ice fishing. The fellow in the plaid red jacket was the second place winner with a 11" Brookie only out placed by a 12" Brown in the Mt. Kisco NY youngster fishing derbie.
