    Thanks to all , here are a few more more last season . Trapping is very relaxing to me . It's also like Christmas everyday when you check your sets . It's a great way to wind down after work with my son . I also feel so close to nature and God when I am making sets . If you don't trap you should get into it . You will love it . 20181219_165739.jpeg20181219_165720.jpeg20181219_165653.jpeg20181219_165633.jpeg20181219_165454.jpeg

    Me too absolutely love it!! My Dad and I trapped alot around the Roc.airport in the 80s when you could get 30 bucks for an average size raccoon. I put out a few coon sets during archery and realized how much i miss it really connects almost in a spiritual way to the natural world just like archery. We are absolutely polluted with Coyote so time to invest in some seriuos gear maybe score a few every year on our Allegany property.

     

    Yes great pics my Dad and I took tons of trapping pics years ago i still have them man what a great way to unwind its a major stress reliever!!

  2. Yeah all looks to be a Fisher what i thought we do see Marten and Mink tracks the paw is much smaller stride shorter. I am camming it up in there I'll get a pic up i hope by the end of January. Right now the coyote tracks are everywhere i dont know how any deer survive in my woods.

    I caught a 27 incher a few years back.  I mentioned this fish to Matt Sanderson of Region 8.  He told me that every year they get a couple of reports, same area of the lake (sorry, you'll have to get Mr Okrepki to tell you where that is, he knows everything about walleyes!:smile:), similar sizes.  They know there is some limited reproduction going on as they have not stocked walleyes in a very long time in there.  They will not increase this population through stocking as their surveys indicated that the majority of the angling population favored maintenance of Hemlock as a trout fishery. 

    I was lucky enough to have a couple anglers communicate a common location walleyes are caught it is more to do with depth for sure walleyes are much shallower than expected but i never cared . I take great pride in knowing i was a vocal regular there that insisted it stay a stable trout fishery.

    They netted at the end of June.  They likely netted at the bottom in relatively deep water, as the lake was likely starting to strongly stratify.  Rainbows, browns and walleyes would be unlikely to be in that "slice" of the lake, they would still be shallower.

    Or they simply did not report on them. Wondering if any walleyes are left ? All giants in there no reproduction..
