Yup, that’s a “big boy fish” right there – a 12.5 lb. laker caught while ice fishing at Third Connecticut Lake in the far northern reaches of Pittsburg, NH.

Many thanks to our friends at Treats and Treasures General Store for their photo – they sell licenses, live bait and have all of your ice fishing needs if you’re fishing the Connecticut Lakes.

Stop in some time for the fudge alone – yes, that’s pretty good too!

Not too much swinging of streamers on the Connecticut River this week. Pittsburg, NH yesterday was -25 early in the morning, and was around -19 this morning.

Incremental improvement, and it’ll be a while before we’re flinging flies again at this rate.

You’ll be the first to know when we do …
