Fern Lake Ice?

[Miller52]

Hey guys wondering if anybody has fished fern lake in the past week or 2 and can tell me how much ice there is. I want to go up there this weekend but want to be able to take my truck out and even though 12 inches is enough to be safe i love my truck and cant afford to not have it or get it out of the lake so i want at the least a good foot and a half maybe an inch or so less minimum.

any info before the weekend is helpful thanks!

Pretty sure its closed to ice fishing....

[Miller52]

fern lake in black brook is not closed to ice fishing i have been going there for 3-4 years now and so has tons of other people.

[Raquettedacker]

Oh I must be thinking of a different one...

Fern lake by Taylor pond? In the ADKS? Is that what you're talking about?

[Miller52]

thats the one

[fishy1]

they stock the lake with eyes with an agreement from the landowners to allow access to fisherman . its in black brook 4 miles from ausable forks.

We were out there last week. There is about 14" of ice. People are driving trucks all around it. There is also 2-3 hard shantys out there.

Did you make it out there today?

[Miller52]

made it out today. was slow for me and looked like it was for everyone else too. But it was something to do and i got to take my truck out there.

[HardWater518]

I think everyone had a slow day today. I did get a nice pail full last time I went there but that was prolly 3 weeks ago.

[Miller52]
