I've been a member for about a week now. I've read a few diffrent post and there are some very good topics.

Just to let you knom a little about my self. I enjoy icefishing as much as possible (mostly weekends). I live way up north next to the St Lawrence river.

I hope to get to know you guys and swap some stories and pics.

Thats more like the Raquette River. I know, I grew up there.

Welcome

welcome to the site . . .if this cold had not come in, you may have ended up with a few beggars on your front steps looking for ice!!

We're close to the St Lawrence. not alot of pepole know about the raquette. Nice to hear from a local.

Been out of the area long. I've spent most of my life here minus 4yrs in the corp.

We were almost begging ourselves until about a week and a half ago. Hit the ice for the first time last sunday the 21st. I was almost ready to get the boat back out.

Where did you end up fishing, Wilson Hill? I've been out of state since 1978. Graduated from Norwood Norfolk in 76'.

We do fish wilson hill. We also fish coles creek marina. Went thear yesterday kept 22 perch and a 6lb pike. A buddy and I are heading to brandy brook over in waddington this morning to try for walleye.

I graduated from norwood-norfolk in 1988. Do you ever make it back here.

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

I make it back about once every 1-2 years. My Dad lives on the river in Morristown now. He's getting very old, and I hope to make it up this Spring. My Sister also has a Summer house there. The landing might be a little hard off the rope swing at Brandy!!! Used to be some great Pike fishing there, towards the river from the boat ramp and to the right. Theres a bay that goes back in there to the right and a sand bar goes all the way across the that bay. Used to catch some Monsters off that Bar. Never caught walleyes in there though. I know things have changed a lot, since the zebra mussel invasion. Good luck to you.
