Southern Vermont Ice Fishing

Southern Vermont ice fishing is wide spread. The ice locally is between 10 to 13 inches thick! The fishing for Bass over the weekend was awesome and there were a bunch of northern pike mixed into the action. Ice fishing this month will be strong and I will be fishing daily now. If you want to check out ice fishing please give me a call...I supply all the equipment, tackle, bait and even drill the holes for you...come ice fishing in Vermont, it's fun in the sun.

Ice Thickness chart

We have SAFE / FISHABLE ice in southern Vermont

There is safe ice! Most places I fish has at least 6 inches of ice which is the minimum amount that I will take guests out on....some places there are more than 6 inches...I guided a group on Burr Pond and on the north end of LSC this weekend...GAME ON ! With the current weeks forecast we are good to go

Jigging tackle

Jigging Spoons which are normally tipped with spikes, minnow heads or perch eyes

Ice Flies are sometimes used on the dropper or on a drop shot rig

Fat Boy jigs which I buy in bulk on paint in a variety of colors

I use size 6 to 12's...these pictured are my favorite size 10

Round head jigs size 12 to 4...I tip them with either bait or soft plastics below

Getting ready for the season

The forecast this week is very promising. I hope to see some safe ice by the end of next week. Check out the jigging stuff I've been working on

And I am very excited to try a pair of inline outfits I purchased
