I use silver spoons about 3 1/2 to 4" long and about 3/4 inch wide at the widest point. I usually stick to silver to imitate smelt, which is usually the predominant forage fish. Will switch colors...

I would order the canoe with the row option, then you have it if you wish to use it, but you don't have to. I have tried both frame pack and a yoke and prefer the yoke. If you tie a long rope from...

All waters that hold trout in NY are off limits to ice fishing unless specifically allowed by regulation. It seems like only the larger lakes that hold trout are open for ice fishing. I haven't...

I started ice fishing about 12 years ago, thinking it would get me out of the house in the winter and be an inexpensive past time since I already had lots of fishing gear. It isn't cheap. You'll...

The Lord smiled on me today. Shot a nice 6 point with a 21 inch spread today near Tupper Lake. Nicest 6 pointer I've ever shot. I was surprised that his neck wasn't swolen. Came along at 12:20 as...

I think the date is because nesting fish are supposed to be easier to catch when on their nests. That is definitely true of bass but not sure about trout. I don't think they guard their nests like...

Carriers can filter different types of traffic and I suspect (just a gut feeling) that their higher paying clients get priority and folks on MVNO take a back seat to their branded customers. I have...

I too explored water that I hadn't fished before. I could tell the water was very high but was really impressed with it, even though I only had one strike which I missed. I usually find opening day...
