I've got the25th off, and could likely find some time that weekend
as well. I fish the C&R area in the Willi fairly often. Include me
in, if y'all get anything going. Only word of caution....we appear
to still be in full winter mode here, so the day may be better
spent at the pizza shop.

"I fish the C&R area in the Willi"? The images that almost brings
to mind....



But back to a more pertinent note. Seeing as its full-on winter still
in the NorthEast, what's the odds that it will be open water in 4
weeks? I know that in a usual mid-Maine winter, we don't usually
count on spring thaw until early April, but I don't know about
Connecticut winters, and I have no instinct at all about this
particular winter.
If Ye Old Farmer's Almanac and local wisdom say that its probably
still going to be a deep freeze by then, I might make better use of
my limited time to get my business done in Maine, and drive down to
the DC area to visit my Dear Ol' Mom, and leave a few days open to
fish with the more southernly boys. Not to insult my Yankee
bretheren, but if the water ain't open, it might might be hard
fishing, and I only have a limited time.
Any guesses at what the situation will be there in mid March?

Sunny and warm, 59 degrees, with a 50/50 chance of blizzard. If by
"southern boys" you mean from here to DC, their forecast is sunny and
warm, 59 degrees, with a 50/50 chance of blizzard.

I probably can't handle the fishing part, but I could handle the hanging out
with my buddies part.

Farmers Almanac so says stormy 20-23.........24-27 fair
unsettled........Right now there is no ice on the river but it is quite
high the lakes are frozen over.......I quess we will have to play it by
ear.......Also March to April they stock at the bridge on 74 the fish
seem to move upstream so the fishing may or may not be good.......

Glad to hear you're doing OK.....

4 weeks from now and ice-out? I'm not really sure - but you can see
most of it from I-84, and I drive through at least once a week, so I'll
post as the date gets closer.
