RE: NY's Southern Tier
CharlieP,
I hang out mostly at work anymore. Other than that, in the woods and on Rainbow/Steelhead streams. I've never ice fished the Susquehanna because I really don't feel comfortable with moving water under the ice I stand on. I know guys kill 'em there, but I stick to still water like Owasco, Whitney Pt, Eaton Brook Res., Guilford Lake and some small private ponds. Mostly Crappie and Perch. I put a lot more effort into Steelies. I'm heading out tomorrow to hit a few Finger Lakes tribs. I hunt around my house and then four properties just over in Tioga County. A buddy lives over in Pine City, just SouthWest of Elmira and we hunt his property about once a season. The rest of my hang out time is with the wife and my two boys. Can't forget playtime on the house also!
