Northern NY Ice???

[FISHFORPIKE]

Wow....its a tough crowd out there.
Not familiar with navigating this site yet.....so I will try to keep posting and see what happens?? Not sure what board I do or do not have access to because I have not posted 5 times??

Don't pay any attention to us.  It's all just somthin to talk/write about.  Funny cause there was just such a discussion going on on the other NNY thread.
Lot's of ice up north of Watertown.

The more "local" lakes......within a 1 to 2 hour ride....Like Trout Lake, Brant Lake, Schroon Lake, Eagle Lake and Moreau are more geared for the early season trout I am looking to fish. I usually wait until George freezes and then perch fish the rest of the season......but thats going to be a tough one this year.

Most of these just froze or are still freezing, I wouldn't head to any of them this weekend personally. If you go further north around Raquette and Long Lake the smaller lakes up there are pretty good. Make a few posts to get up to five and you can check out the reports and conditions board. Don't take the harassment personally, a lot of people are cranky because the ice is late.

i don't think people are cranky b/c ice is late, but more along the lines of too many people asking where the safe ice is! if one would take the time to do a little reading of past posts anyone could and should be able to find somewhere safe to wet there lines. there finally got it off my chest and i bet I'm not the only one thinking this!!! do some reading, take some notes, and if all else fails TAKE A RIDE!!!!!

Maybe this far north should be called heaven as we have ice.

Those places are all southern adks, Depending on where guys live they consider anything north of thethruway to be northern NY but Ice Dog and NorthernnyIce and guys like myself having grown up in the true northern Ny know that those areas are 4-5hrs wouth of northern NY.  i think unless you are north of Old Forge area you should consider it "Northern but in reality you need to be north of Tupper where the men are men so aren't the women and the sheep run scared to consider it north country

I say we draw a line from say... Pulaski to north of Lake George. Anything above that is NNY. Anything south of the line is central NY, capital region, southern adirondacks, whatever you want o classify it as.  IDK about the ice down there; its like 4 hours away!

I will second this one.  I was on polarisatvforums.com last week and someone was looking to go riding close to where he lived in Northern New York.  I replied and said I would take him riding.  Turned out he was in Binghampton.  My NY geography aint great but I thought Binghapton was on the Pennsylvania (therefore Southern) Border. 

One way or another I am still not feeling confident enough to hit the ice just yet.  Please bring me some subzero weather to Chaumont Bay.

That's fine for guys that have 20 posts since 2005, all asking where there's ice. I think it's a bit different for a new member with two posts that can't even see the reports and conditions board yet. Let  alone know how to navigate the website. I always said that I thought a new member should need 50 posts or so to be able to start a thread, but I don't blame him for doing it without knowing the site yet.

I grew up on the shoreline of the St. Lawrence River but didn't know until I moved West of Syracuse that Ogdensburg is a small city in Canada.
