        I been called worse.
  
     God is steelhead fishing easier to stay warm than ice fishin!!!! Hit the River for a couple hours now that Oneida Lake is choked with too much snow to walk out..  Fishin was SLOW!! Saw 9 anglers and me and my buddy made 11, 2 fish hooked in 2 hours that I saw , actually crossed two spots on safe ice, wish it was deeper ... I would have drilled a hole and ice fished.. I tryed jigs and beads and got a zero, oh well, was nice just wetting a line again, haven't fished the River since mid December. Found 5 fresh dead steelies in 2 runs I fished, 1 was still breething, people shouldn't take pic's in these temps unless they plan on harvesting them..  tight lines...

Hey Snagger, about you're Sport Cat freezing. Grab a bunch of those cheapie hand warmers and masking tape one to the tank.
It's just enough heat to keep the tank warm.

          Actually it freezes after I turn it off. I try to conserve propane when I don't need to warm my hands to save money, adding those things, I might as well let it run. Thanks though Nightfisher, I've come up with a plan, I'm bringing a slightly larger cooler for my lunch and beer, big enough to put my propane sportcat in too!! I hate giving oil companies any extra money, I'd rather give my money to a waitress as tip, before giving them an extra nickle...

40 cars in the middle of January on a weekday....UNBELIEVABLE!   IF you told me that 3 years ago  I never would have believed you!

      Maybe 50 if you count the cars over by Melindas, I wasn't counting, just drove by quick, but it looked like salmon season, can't blame me, I put out a bad report!!!

Lower river was all slushed up bad . I think I'm fishing closer to home for a while..
