Went to visit an old friend in Vermont & to give a guy some rods & reels from the FFF for some casting schools he's doing in the local high
schools. He lives in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and has some top notch wild brook trout, steelhead, and yes, Smallmouth Bass* fishing. Would love to get
a group to go up there. Spring means black fly season, head nets, Woodsman's Fly Dope, and some great pain medication. His name is Doug Swanson
802-673-9993, and is a great guy.
We lived in Vermont and this time of year is mud season and ice out. There is a shop on on of the lakes that has a lottery for ice out. They have a brick with a flag on it, connected to an electric extension cord. When the brick sinks through the ice, the extension cord is pulled from the socket an as 40 year old alarm clock gives the exact time.
It's so nice to be back in CT where ice is out & opening day is tomorrow in some private clubs and State wide next week. No ice out lotteries - it's fishing season!
