Some help from mother nature

Parts of the north country finally saw some inclement weather yesterday. What appeared to be isolated thunderstorms dumped a good amount of water yesterday evening, enough to raise to river significantly up to 500 cfs. This, factored with some cooler temps should help the fishing come back around again.

Its finally time!

It's that special time of year, the time we have all been waiting for and better yet the time that our slimy fish friends have been waiting for. The hatch of the year is upon us and I for one am so exited I dont know which direction to go in.

Of course its the hex hatch I am talking about and it is most certainly here. As a pond fisherman it is the one hatch you dont want to miss. At my house bills go unpaid, dogs go hungry and milk gets spoiled, nothing gets done until the bugs are gone. Dont miss this epic hatch, drop what youre doing and get out and join me, just dont get to close because heaven only knows where my casts are going in the middle of the night.

M.D.

Ponds still hot!

Ice out is not a term of the past at this point. The ponds are still producing good fishing. Check out this video taken by Matt this weekend.

Stop Asian Carp : Solution Part One

After seeing this on another blog I felt it was our duty to post a follow up to our first asian carp post. Could this be part of the solution or just another hoax? You tell us.

ICE OUT!!

Ok, maybe the ice is not out everywhere but if you are a fan of the SRCA than now is the time to fish. Many of the ponds in the SRCA are either completely free of ice or mostly free of ice and some of them are fishing well. Don't believe us, check these pics from a fishing trip Easter weekend where Matt and Zack bumped into each other on one of the ponds in the canoe area.

 

  
 

Great Lakes Carp Battle Rages On

 

LEARN MORE AT  STOPASIANCARP.COM

In December 2009, DNA testing found evidence that Asian carp were within a few miles of Lake Michigan, yet the locks which provide the carp with a direct path into Lake Michigan remain open.

Great Lakes states are supporting the fight in court, including New York, Wisconsin, Ohio and Minnesota. The Province of Ontario joined us as well. However, the Obama administration and the State of Illinois are opposing our suit and refuse to close the locks.

You can help us convince federal and local authorities to close the locks and protect the jobs and ecology that depend on the health of the Great Lakes by signing this e-petition. We will present the petition to President Obama and hope that he changes his position.

Luck of the Irish

 

Check out this beautiful fish caught by our friend Jim Adams. Matt was lucky enough to walk up on Jim as he was landing this fish just in time to snap a photo. What a great way to celebrate St. Patty's
