North end and Narrows have lots of groups of guys out there today. Just stay away from inlets.

How much snow on ice. Considering using a snowmobile .
Thanks

biggmike · « **Reply #1503 on:** Jan 15, 2018, 03:36 AM »

Fished the afternoon plenty of people out there. Not a flag for us missed one on the jigging rod, didn't notice any activity.

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #1504 on:** Jan 22, 2018, 10:06 AM »

Fished both Saturday and Sunday
Saturday was windy but not the arctic cold air that's usually blowing up there so it was very manageable
I landed 13 lakers
12 jigging
1 on a tip up
All fish were from 15-24inches

Sunday was much nicer conditions with a lighter breeze, but slower action than the day before , I landed 7 all on the jig from 16-23in
It was definitely a rare treat not to have to clean a single hole
These mild temps sure won't last so I'm glad I got to cash in on some Schroon Gold

Still enough ice to truck on?

If you have a safe access point yes the ice is plenty thick
The town launch and fowler Ave have weak edges for truck access I saw a lot of busted ice along the shore at those points

Is the shore broke up was coming up to fish off the public beach and we are about 2 hrs away wanna make sure we can get out either by walking or 4 wheeler tomorrow thanks for any info will be are first time

SchrnLker · « **Reply #1508 on:** Jan 24, 2018, 10:12 AM »

Getting on with a wheeler or walking no problem. 3 trucks broke through at the edges this weekend. 12-18" ice once you're on.

mabby219 · « **Reply #1509 on:** Jan 24, 2018, 05:45 PM »

Ok thank you Schrnlker

morganycfish · « **Reply #1510 on:** Feb 01, 2018, 05:22 PM »

Anyone been out lately? I'm heading up for the weekend. Any tips would be appreciated!

SchrnLker · « **Reply #1511 on:** Feb 01, 2018, 05:30 PM »

I was on the lake today, drove on with my Jeep. 16"-21" ice, fished near the Island, one Laker on tipups, along with some nice perch. Been hearing of good Laker fishing lately.

slimeypete · « **Reply #1512 on:** Feb 02, 2018, 08:10 AM »

hey guys im heading up to Loon lake (chestertown) for the first time in a few weeks with a group for our annual fishing trip, does anyone have any info on lake conditions right now? Im staying in a house located on the south side of the lake and hoping to target Pike and walleye. Thanks and tight lines

fisherbone · « **Reply #1513 on:** Feb 02, 2018, 08:35 AM »

Only fished Loon once this year... December 28th.... there was 10-12" then... has to have at least 18-20 by now!

Never fished the south part of lake.... good luck!

The bay below the narrows on the west side is good. Narrows itself can be good close to shore both sides.

Any idea how much ice is off Fowler? Looking to make it up for our annual President's Day weekend trip. Wondering if trucks will be "safe" or quads only. Then again, with the snow coming, might have to be a snowmobile!

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #1517 on:** Feb 05, 2018, 01:44 PM »

Over 18 inches of ice
Trucks been on the ice a month already
By presidents week you can land a jumbo jet on the ice if not already

slimeypete · « **Reply #1518 on:** Feb 06, 2018, 08:05 AM »

Thanks for the updates, its much appreciated. Being able to bring the pickup on the ice will certainly help with getting to some of the spots I scouted with Navionics. I think we may even go up a day early to fish the lower narrows on schroon for Pike and Lakers. Hopefully that predicted snow is kind to you guys

Garufi518 · « **Reply #1521 on:** Feb 11, 2018, 08:58 PM »

Heavy wet 8 now the rain knocked it waydown

jdwyer85 · « **Reply #1522 on:** Feb 14, 2018, 08:53 AM »

Heading up tomorrow morning, anyone know how the conditions of the ice are? A lot of snow, frozen now, bare ice? Also, how is entry from Fowler Road? Any trucks getting on there? Bringing a quad but I believe my buddy hopes to get his truck on.

Thanks and looking forward to a great weekend up there! Even with a little rain, better than the desk I ride for a living!

biggmike · « **Reply #1523 on:** Feb 14, 2018, 09:42 AM »

Heading up Saturday morning for the weekend hope to get into some lakers and try for some perch

SchrnLker · « **Reply #1524 on:** Feb 14, 2018, 05:28 PM »

Fished today, 23" ice, 5-6" crusty snow that softened up as the day went on. Drove on with my Jeep at boat launch in town, Fowler is good too. Good action on tipups, 2 of us, 5 Lakers, 3 keeper size, nice and fat, plus a 12lb Pike, which I released. All caught suspended 10-20ft under the ice in 50-60fow, on Hunts.
