Charlie & Jack at the Pack

Wallenpaupack would be the setting once again for Charlie and Jack's annual ice-fishing trek in 2021.  This pair travelled north from their Southern Pennsylvania residency to the frozen waterway in Wayne County.  The early part of the day started out with some flurries and drizzle mixed in as the temperatures were nearing freezing.  The tip-ups were spaced about and jigging rods were manned as they anglers anticipated the fun of another Legends Outdoors outing.  The jigging action would turn out to be moderate with several panfish taking the offerings on the end of their line resulting in perch and bluegills.  The tip-ups yielded a good amount of flags resulting in some heartbreaks with fishing pulling into the wood, but there were many a good fish hooked up and caught as they caught several smallmouth bass in the 15-16" range. The bass were all released back into the chilly waters of this legendary lake while the panfish were harvested for some fried fish meals.  During the outing the anglers were treated to venison jalapeno hot dogs that while cooking really enthrall the senses out in the open air.  The sun would pop out towards the end of the trip and the temps would peak in the mid-30's as their day would wind down.  Great day out for this pair and we look forward to seeing them back again with Legends Outdoors in the future.
