Hopkins

Mike and Veron headed to Hopkins Pond in Clifton/Amherst early this morning and were able to get the Toyota on the ice and across to their favorite fishing hole. They reported a few other fisherman. They fished hard tending their two traps, but only one flag and a slight line out - wind flag, as the bait was still going strong with no sign of wear or tear. Oh well what a beautiful day to be on the water, and a little snow squal gave a dusting or so. We would like to try smelts, but the cost per dozen does not allow that this year.

We are packing in hopes of a Duck attempt early in the morning.

I think I will check and see how O'Connor is doing down in Flordia on Saddlebag Lake. Then a call to Three Rivers Canoe to check pricing on that Scott Canoe - just a dream.
