With @alexd_outdoors Fishing was a challenge with low temps, high winds and ice accumulating quickly on the gear. I had setup to catch brook trout in shallow water with light #4 lines set just under the ice with small to medium shiners on a circle hook but none were caught this trip out. I had scouted the area in early summer when the skeeters were in full force. Now the forest was settled into winter with a few red squirrels barking and chickadees chirping. Day old hare tracks were scattered through the birch, balsam, pine, hemlock, cedar and maple forest but none were spotted despite efforts to find them. I've studied the maps looking for new winter sites to explore that have a resonable sled in distance and potential for open season fishing or snowshoe hare. Maybe a few more days would have produced some #forestgroceries If you have any knowledge of good winter camping spots in the ADK or Catskill wilderness areas pls let me know! #wintercamping #icefishing #hottent #tipupfishing #jigrod #bushcraftusa #bushcraft #wildernesstravel #adirondacks #adklife #snowshoehare #winter #newyorkbha
