January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

May have to dredge up that logo. -
I remember quite a few of them, I had 2 1970 Olympics back in the early 70's and back in the 60's my buddies parents had bought a new 1968 olympic, They use to have snowmobile races back in the 70's at the Lewiston Fairgrounds on the 1/2 mile track so a lot of those cats, doos, poos motoski, Sno Jet, Skiroule, Alouhettes and Mercs were all prevalent, That was the boom of the snowmobile era where all manufacturers were trying to get into the snowmobile business.

18z Nam really blows this low up towards DE Maine down to 987mb dropping a foot there, May watch this to see if this can happen a bit sooner in the next 24hrs, That would at least get some accumulating snow further west but as of now, Its a bit to late for most, Nothing else better to do.........lol -

Much better actually i think, I eat both, Cut the bodies, Cut off the heads clean and rinse, Recipe is simple for these, 2 tbl spoons Salt, 1c Flour, I place them in a zip lock, Shake them up and fry them in cooking oil, It makes them crispy, Supermarkets or fish mkts up here will carry them in season too. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/236481/fried-smelts/

I usually hit up Bakers on the Kennebec in Pittston or James Eddy in Dresden on the Eastern River, Fished at Worthings just over the bridge in Gardiner heading back to Aug and have never done any good there, Those 3 are in the process of getting camps on, I have not fished in Bowdinham on the Cathance River for 20 yrs or so but that's where i'm going saturday, I have had good luck in the past there.

Leaf blower downy flakes. -
Last year got on late, Previous 2 yrs, There was no ice at all, Been many times and filled up half or a full 5 gal bucket in the past, Been many times and came back with a few or an empty bucket, Good chance we should have some luck as they tend to spawn early season, Went a few times last year but did not get on the ice until Feb and caught a few dozen, Nothing special.

Oh there is usually plenty of shenanigans that goes with these trips.............

This is going to be the first time in about 15yrs, That i'm going to be smelt fishing this early, 7+" of ice on the tributaries from all this cold weather this month, Going out Saturday night to fish the incoming tide, It is fun catching these when there running, These fish are a delicacy, Better then french fries.
