Newell?

[pikester]

Any reports floating around about Newell yet? Thinking about hitting it on Sunday if it's iced-off but haven't talked to anyone who's been there recently. Got some pike flies & Flat Raps that are dying to be eaten!!lol

I meant that I'm choked about the rule change. I always look forward to getting on Newell as soon as the ice is gone.

Oops! My humblest apologies. Between the inability to read tone & connotation on internet messages coupled with the fact that there is a definite tendency for some to jump all over others who post stuff, it's easy to get defensive.

Totally agree with the new change in closure since I have fished Newell every spring for nearly a decade; it was the only thing that kept me sane before everything else opened! Back to the Bow for another 2 weeks I guess but it's just not the same
