February E-News Winter in the Great North Woods
February 9, 2006

Dear Friends,

It has been a crazy winter for New England this year. Most of New England has bare ground. But not here in NH's frozen North Country! Elevation is everything! While our snowpack is not as deep as it usually is this time of year, we have 100% coverage and at least a foot here at the lodge. Our snowmobile guests report significantly more snow in the Second Lake / East Inlet / and points east and north of Magalloway Mountain. We're expecting 1-3 inches tonight.

    Winter Ride and Stay Packages

    Ever wonder what goes on in Pittsburg in the winter? Well come on up and see! Snowmobiling is a fast growing winter sport and there is no better spot to try it than in New England's BEST snowmobile destination!

    Never snowmobiled before? We rent new model Polaris single or double snowmobiles and the outdoor gear at the lodge. Combined that with a cabin rental and you've got a ride and stay package! Midweek packages start at $369 for two or weekend packages start at $425 for two.

    NH cares for its roads well in the winter so getting here is a snap. After that, ride your snowmobile from your cabin to restaurants, the store, another state or country! We snowmobile in Pittsburg into the month of April.


     
    Fishing Season Preview

    May is the start of our fishing season in the Connecticut Lakes Region. Ice usually leaves the big lakes during the first week of May. Pond fishing opens the last Saturday of April. Moose Pond and Middle Pond are usually iced out by then, sometimes Back Lake. The spring run of salmon begins shortly after ice out on the big lakes and the best places to fish for them are in the inlets at Lake Francis and First Lake.

    By mid to late May the trout fishing picks up in the river and ponds as the water warms. Good fishing is had on Memorial Day weekend. June is a popular month for fishing. We see the caddis and mayfly hatches all month. We also see a 2 week window of black flies mid month. July and August offer excellent fishing since the river water comes from dep in the lakes water column keeping temps low to support great trout fishing all season long.

    September and October are also great months for fishing. Water cools as the days get shorter and daytime temps get cooler. Pond and lake fishing pick up. River fishing continues to be good until the close of the season October 15.
