One of the advantages of fishing muddy water in the wintertime is that you often have the lake to yourself.

My dad told me in a recent phone conversation that 2020 was the wettest year since the 1800s for North Carolina (I asked him if he remembered that year). A few months ago, we had 9 inches come down in just half a day. One town had 38 inches of rain! I have never seen so much water moving everywhere even ponds in the middle of the woods now have current.

You may have noticed that another New Year is upon us. And after the way 2020 treated us, thank goodness!
While it remains to be seen how kind 2021 will be as the COVID-19 pandemic rolls on, many of the nation s outdoorsmen are knee-deep in the off-season projects that keep us busy in the dead of winter.
Fishing pros Charlie Ingram and Ray Brazier came to Trumbull County in September to film the episode.
Trumbull County Tourism played host to the crew, taking them to sites that had the potential to draw in visitors to enjoy what we have to offer here in our area.
According to Beth Kotwis Carmichael, executive director of Trumbull County Tourism, “Hosting Fishing U is a great opportunity for the area to highlight our outdoor adventures. The show’s airing in January is also a great segue as the travel industry celebrates “Plan Your Vacation” month. With a national and international audience, we look forward to welcoming visitors to the county, when people are ready to travel again.”
Mosquito Lake isn t the only Trumbull County location featured on the program. Local businesses including Cockeye BBQ, Sunrise Inn and Clubhouse Brewing Co. were also part of the show.
