About same for me. Fishing for pike pickerel perch and trout.

First at Ladoga lake and then surrounding areas ponds and streams.

Also for lesh ( I don't know the English name for it ) and would love to catch some here but have no idea if they even exist here.

Lol and you know Russian regulations. As long as you not using dynamite you pretty much allowed to do whatever you want.

For a bottle of vodka even dynamite would be permissible. Lesh (Bream - Abramis Brama) available in Canada but not US. I would love to find Lin (tench) here in the US. It is considered undesirable species though. I used to live in Linden off of Woodlawn ave

Yeah that's true.

And don't forget the party leaders on vacation that used to bleed local lakes dry. Man I remember fishing White River in what now Bashkorastan. My early stocking efforts. Used to catch tons of baby pickerels and stock them in local ponds and lakes so I can have better fishing grounds. Have not idea of it ever working but something just needed to get done.

And I wonder if crawfish and crawdads get to the same size we used to have. So nice to have one with a beer after a long day.

I used to catch huge crawfish in Ukraine. Easily size of an adult hand. But I've seen good size crawfish in US as well. 4-5"

Lol I don't know how you can keep up with that many. 5 looks like a lot of work for me I cant imagine looking over 15 of them

When I go to bigger lakes I usually go with several friends. We each bring 5 and set up a pattern. Otherwise it is really difficult to figure out the fishing pattern. When I learn the lake, I bring 3

That's for sure. Reason I said this though I went with couple of my friends to a private lake ice fishing last season (I wasn't fishing was there for free alcohol) They had 10 between both of them and then 7 flags went up within a minute. Man I had fun watching them run like chickens without the head. That kind of flag show made me want to try it out this year. And after seeing all of the pictures you maniacs put up here makes me wanna be out even more.

Andrew, we can make it happen for you any time. I go pretty much weekly now. Mostly during the week mid day. We can do private venue or Splitrock or greenwood lake
