Our spring ice fishing for pike is about on us here. We just have to fly 85miles, dig a spot through 2+ft" of snow then auger through 40+" of ice to get to them!

Nice. That looks like an Orvis Battenkill rod. I do a lot of fly fishing and tying and I always fish with cane. I have a couple of Battenkills, but my favorite rods are the vintage Leonards. My favorite small stream rod is a 6 ft. "baby" Leonard which I bought from the widow of the original owner. I also take it with me when I hike to above 12,000 feet for the rare greenback cutthroats in the Colorado Rockies. It is a hard hike into the trail less area using a topo and compass but its well worth the effort and pain to get there. The trout average about 17 or 18 inches in the Alpine lakes I fish.
A few pictures............a greenback, an alpine lake at 12,500 ft. that I frequent and fish and two bighorn sheep fighting. I see a lot of sheep every day at altitude. I was in the right place at the right time for the big horn fighting photo. |

Water still "turning over" here on the local farm ponds, but with three days of 40 mph winds, it won't take long. But if one did try to cast a fly here now, the fly would end up in Michigan!

Today, just 8 miles north of Vienna Illinois, the wind is blowing up to 40 mph gusts but the fish are moving. Caught a few yesterday morning before the wind really got up. No pics as there was too much going on.....

Tom, it's an Orvis, Rocky Mt., 6 1/2 ft., 3 piece, 4 wt. bamboo fly rod, sporting an Orvis CFO II reel. And she's my favorite.
