Flip Outdoors presents Spring Ice Safety
Apr 1st, 2009 by Luke

Every year in winter and spring people fall through unsafe ice on lakes, ponds and streams. All to often these accidents are fatal. Whether on foot, snowmobile or other vehicle, know the ice conditions before venturing out.

In spring when warmer days lead to melting and runoff ice can become unpredictable and unsafe, especially in areas with a current and moving water. Don’t venture out onto ice that you’re unfamiliar with or that looks unsafe. Even though the days are getting warmer, icy ponds and streams are still dangerous.

Smelting on the Kennebec
Mar 31st, 2009 by Jimmy

One thing that is always fun to do in Maine is to go smelting. What an experience! You can bring all your friends and family, kids and grandparents alike.  This was one of the last weekends that most of the smelt shacks were going to be open due to the fast melting ice on the river.  So the four of us (Willy,  Zane,  Wayne and myself) hopped in to the truck and headed to Jim Worhting’s Smelt Shacks in Randolph, Maine.  Worthing’s sustains about 50 to 75 shacks during the peak season and supplies everything you would need to catch these delicious fish.  The shacks were warm and the people were great!  Enjoy the video….
