Severe winter slows frog hunting along the creek
Outdoors column recounts Jim Kirby’s tough frog outing as harsh winter reduces frog numbers in ponds and streams. He wades with gear including a gig and burlap bag, misses big catches, and ends day with only three frogs amid cold conditions and fish-kill reports. Also recounts a late night muskellunge fishing incident where an owl startled lure action before a large fish escaped.
