Winter is here, but as winter’s in Maine go (at least in our part of the state)—this one has not been too bad. I guess it is all relative though because if I still snowmobiled, I would be hoping for lots more snow than we have. I haven’t heard too much from anyone about ice fishing or ice depth at the lake. We had some warm, rainy weather this winter but also a lot of really cold weather so I imagine that the ice is pretty thick. If anyone has a report on the ice, fishing or anything else about the lake, please use the contact form on this site and I will report it here.
I did just hear from Ron Pelletier who snowmobiled the area a few days ago. He said that the Stud Mill road is plowed all the way and that the 32-00-0 road is groomed for snowmobiling. He reported that the trails are not all that good with some icy and bare spots. He and his fellow snowmobiler’s had lunch at Nicatous Lodge, so if anyone is in that area, it is good to know that food and gas are available.
Thanks to those who have commented on the site changes. It’s nice to know that folks are visiting the site and like the new look. 
I still have plans for a forum and a photo gallery and hope to get a chance to work on those soon. If anyone has a photo to share, it is now possible to upload them on the contact page. I will add your photo’s to the photo page when it is done. Remember, too, that this is a blog-style page now and if you would like to make any comments to this post (or any other), just click on “Leave a comment” that appears under each post.
