"20 POUNDS IN THE 2012 ROUND" gotta great ring to it Trap! HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL !!--KP!!

  Back in 1996 through the winter of 1997 we had a 20lb. club here at the lodge, what a year, this year has some available, but it aint 96...I just want one, haven't got one since 2001.  Lost 2 so far since I started fishing on Halloween.., only thing keeping me fishing steelhead right now is the chance of a large one...

  44 degrees with a stiff east wind right now, snows really melting today, creeks should move a bit this afternoon, maybe just enough to keep it at 900 a little while longer.

   Happy News Years everybody!!!!!!

adam  i  actually   caught  them  in front  of  the  old  weir   years  ago   toward  the  end  of  jan  ...  i  was  standing on  shevle  ice  and  it  broke  i  went  in  the  water  stood  up in     zero  weather   and  istant  ice  ....  my  nephew   got  me  to  the  truck  and     had  me  strip  got  a   blanket       and  rushed   me  to  oswego  hospital  .....  i  was  so  cold  all i  wanted  to  do  was  sleep  .....  when  i  started  to  warm  up  it  hurt  and  i  never  shivered  so  hard  in my  life  ............   

anyways     BECAREFUL   i  was  young    then  today  i'd   most likely  die  (thats  the  truth)
