I made a quick visit to the Powder Mill gate on my way home tonight and wasn't surprised to see how high the water level was. The water was still to high and moving way to fast to even properly retrieve a lure. Of course I couldn't resist. I tied on a heavy (oz?) rainbow colored KastMaster and pulled it thru the current as slow as I could. After 10 or so casts I made a few more with the black/silver Rooster Tail.
I also took a couple of casts at Thanksgiving Pond in Maynard before I got home. No hits, no signs of life. I think I'm still at least a few weeks away.

- I fish. When permitted, I will fish in almost any body of water (fresh or salt) using almost any method; Bait, Spin, Ultra-light, Ice, Pier, Surf, Boat, Canoe, you name it & I'll do it. I also support catch and release. (Unless it's simply too big or too dead to release)
Would you drive on this road? We did.
This is the Lake Champlain shanty road in Port Henry, NY. 12+ inches of water on top of the ice. This picture was taken over a mile from shore.
