My city’s hockey team is making me really, really mad right now, so I am going to share my latest catch to take my mind off it (hopefully).

Despite the 25*F temperatures and some very light ice and slush flow, the sun managed to peek through the clouds for just long enough over Elk Creek in Girard, PA to wake this buck into feeding mode and send him after my egg pattern. Winter is my favorite time of year to fish, as long as there is open water, I am bundled up, and most importantly, there is snow on the ground.
