Ditto.

I joined as well; have no issue kicking in but likewise prefer not to manage. Mike

I would be in. Mike

The smiles in your pics tell the story - awesome!

I use it as well; especially in different climate zones with totally different biomes .

I have a friend that has given up and just refers to Al as “that lightweight metal”. Mike

Love One Cast! Mike

Yes, plenty of bears. We were here in August and September and there was a 400ish trash bandit that I squared off with a few times, in broad daylight even. He was NOT afraid of me. Hopefully someone harvested him this season…. If I’m ever up here at that time I’ll probably give bear hunting a go….my FIL has harvested them in the past, and always looked forward to it. Mike

FIL lives just outside Lake Ariel on a small lake(Beyea pond). We’ve been spending more time up here helping out as his health declines, and I’ve been poking around when I have the chance. Fortunate that I’ve got a friend with great access to Wallenpaupack; we fished the upper end below the bridge today. To be honest, this area is growing on me - especially in summer, although the hunting pales in comparison to what we have in Missouri. Still learning. Mike

Up spending time with my FIL, and have a friend with a place on Wallenpaupack he bought primarily for ice fishing. Had the chance to join him for a few hours today. This was my first time fishing on ice, and prior to today, I could really not see the attraction. As with any fishing, it was hot and cold - we couldn’t buy a bite on the tip-ups(baited with trapped creek chubs and one 11” fallfish)…but I was able to jig up a handful of nice perch and a surprise nice brown(Yes, I was scoping-and I’m not sorry…lol). I get it now, and look forward to the next opportunity! …

Those are nice, and for me that is the way I go for indicator fishing as well; I have a box full of jigged nymph ties for that purpose. I have tried high sticking, and either I’m just not good at it, the water I’m fishing is too turbulent, or both. Mike

When I’ve gone up we’ve checked our insulated boxes of frozen fish as luggage and shipped our clothes and rods, etc. home via UPS. Works great actually, but that is flying out of Anchorage. It costs way more to ship the fish than the gear…. Mike

Looks like KUIU….good stuff, but pricey. I might have some but in a different pattern…😉 Mike
