It is true, the snow only recently melted away.  There were a few spots with some collection of snow, ditches mostly, that did not totally go away til only a week or two ago.

I do have a few favorite places, pond and lakes mostly.  It is unfortunate that it appears I will soon have to relocate.  I have only been up here since Dec 2008 and while life was pretty routinely busy before I did get the chance to fish fairly regularly wherever I was, Fl, GA.  I have not had the chance to hunt since mid 70s.  I took my first, second and third deer, first walleye, northern and pheasant while here.  Would like to take my first turkey and muskie before having to leave but only have a month or two left before I leave.  Trading emails sounds good to me, like keeping in touch with folks with similar interests.  avew@knology.net">davew@knology.net

I am originally from the finger lakes region of upstate NY so am familiar with some of the restrictions, who says I was 'targeting' that bass?, just happened to like the particular bait I was using.  Always catch and release in any event.  I do miss the beginning of trout season up there though.
