We were off to a great start this ice-fishing season, with ice-fishing kicking off in December. However, this weekend's rain and the upcoming forecast do not look good.

Is this season done?

I think we have one more day to fish in CT on Sunday. Will need the planks but...

I don't see "hell yes" as an option.

We may be OK with the nightly low temps.

Are things that bad at home???

This thread has gone waaaay of course...but funny as hell!!

Let's hope it stays hard enough thru Sunday... so we can all do CWood!!!

I'm referring to the ice of course

In your wettest dreams big boy!

Black rock had about 13” yesterday pretty much all black ice. Smaller lakes and ponds should be good for another week at least as long as it doesn’t rain hard

Ice fishing may be over in CT but I was in Swanton, VT last Saturday morning (unfortunately not fishing) and took this picture of ice fishing sight you would not see in CT. That's Lake Champlain shore just past the flagpole and those are campers and trucks on the ice in the distance. Could see shelters and shantys all the way across to Canadian shore.

Not yet. Was on 12" today with good edges.

Campbells bay?

Thanks. Glad to hear it's still hanging on up there. Hope we get a return to cold.

cleaning the house, and the garage is next to get the stuff off my boat!

I live next to the extreme south end of Lillinonah. With the rise and fall of the lake this week, the edges have broken up and it is done as far as this area is concerned. The small ponds in the area are also done. Putting everything away tonight while drowning ice fishing sorrows in a double IPA.

Record highs Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nice. I'm sure you will.

Some launches might be an issue with Saturday night's snow.

Just put my stuff back in the basement.

Saw some Instagram posts of guys out the other day catching some nice pike.

But, supposed to be 67 this Wed, and night time lows are above freezing every day this week.

This season is done, unless we get some miraculous return to cold weather.

There is a dam there on the east end of the pond...with the rain and thaw that water is moving!

Obviously not a good idea to be out there. Glad they got out safely.

The flu this year is no joke! My mom has been in the hospital for a week!

Many heart related issues coming out of the flu this time so be carefull to all who get symptoms and are older or if you have youngsters.

launched my boat today and caught fish.its over!!!!!!

In that wetsuit?

LOL Mitch

I actually fished the South Bay of Bantam. It was supposed to be my memorial tourney for my father this weekend, but obviously that didn't happen, so I always try and find Ice somewhere on the 23rd, if I'm not doing the tourney.

Needed a 12' ladder to get on, but there was 5" of ice.

Days are getting longer and I think almost everywhere is wide open. Really need some calm nights and deep freeze temps.

I hope to be on the ice in NH March 17, 18th!

Well I wanted to see if the ramp was free, nope!

Squantz Launch

Clearly that "fisherman" 2 posts up is not a plow driver....

Sounds like a plan!!!!

Skim ice on ponds in Stamford.

I thought we might get a return to ice-fishing in the northwest CT corner, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Almost put the ice gear away but, I may have one more trip in me!! My buddy fished one of my favorite places today in MA, still has 12-14"
It's only about an hour ride from Springfield so, if any of you guys have your MA license and feel the need to scratch that itch one more time, let me know!!!
This lake is a jiggers paradise!! Nice bass, decent crappie and tons of good sized punkers
