Hello Everyone
I would like to go ice fishing for pike and this seems to be the closest option.Never fished out of CT ,but with the lack of ice here i am looking for options.Any information would be helpful,i am looking for ice conditions mainly.I plan on fishing 3 days next weekend.Thank You!

Be sure to bring plenty of beer and snacks because pike fishing there is SLOOOOW. Every bit of the reservoir should be fishable especially on foot.
Bring a jig rod and catch a few smelt and put them on the tipups.

Was up there last weekend Feb 16-18

 mixed consistency ice 10-13 inches


Saturday 4-8 huts no one around us  caught anything  but smelt

Sunday morning  as we picked up 2 solid pike came out of the water from other huts   before we left 

Two other flags had smaller fish

Heading back up next weekend to try luck again and work on smelt rig.

Good luck
