ATV on ice isn't safe on white lk..crazy to even risk some them big deep lakes in Sullivan. Hope and wish safe ice..maybe small backwood ponds..anybody try morningside lately ? Never tried that but read panfish are in there ,is it good?

beachwoods 16 · « **Reply #9031 on:** Jan 25, 2017, 01:05 PM »

I've seen trucks on white lake. The day the atv went through, there was still open water. Everthing has it's limits. Either that guy was stupid or got too comfortable.

Nice forecast for going into February.. Sure there is safe is even now but those shorelines on the res.must be deep and need caution ..I'm looking forward to get out again..last time I cleaned a nice bunch..great fried them pannies! Never got into the perch but the crappies were nice so far..no eye..few white perch but they I toss..tried them and they are fishy..good eagle food imho

I was thinking about fishing the Swan Lake Fire Company tournament: https://www.facebook.com/events/203466363449447/

I was told they have 10-11" of ice as of Tuesday.

Esoxnepa I suggest keeping a watch on the fire departments Face Book page for updates on the contest before you make the trip . Doing a Google search I found this phone number you and anyone else planning to attend this contest may want to call.

Not too much of a trout fisherman/fly fisherman. Looking to improve my fly casting skills though, what baits/patterns are they catching them on?

Since they are stocked fish, patterns are not that important. In addition, since it's winter, surface bugs are not around. Best to use nymphs or streamers.

I can only hope.

Esoxnepa thank you for the updated information on Swan Lake Fire Dept. ice fishing contest . AdkRoy must have received your message he has posted that this contest is cancelled until further notice. Hopefully we get some colder weather in February so all of us can get in a few ice fishing trips.

I went by lock sheldrake this morning all froze but it was snowing and could not see the ice also swan had about 30 people on it

mr.clean · « **Reply #9050 on:** Jan 28, 2017, 02:20 PM »

Good afternoon , Greensider I have no idea how many people on average attend Swan Lake Fire Dept. contest the lake's ice covering maybe safe for small groups scattered around the lake not a lot of people concentrated in one area. The fire dept uses the area by tennis courts of former Stevensville/Presidents resort there is a stream the flows out of the lake in this area which affects ice thickness in that section of the lake. A similar situation exists by the state access to loch Sheldrake .
Hardwater Diehard you are correct about contests . also on Sunday Feb.19Th is the King of the Ice at white lake. www.sullivancountyconservationclub.org day of contest registration at White Lake firehouse on route 17B . Look under events fo King of the Ice.

Back in late December while on a trip checking ice conditions I left a message taped on the door of Loch Sheldrake Firehouse seeking information on if and when they would be having a contest this year. I never received a reply to this note.If any of you Sullivan County residents travel through Loch Sheldrake on a regular basis check and see if they have any type of sign in front of the firehouse with info. on contest. Last year they choose to hold a flea market instead because of poor ice conditions they maybe doing the same this year.

Be cautious if attempting a fishing trip to many stories here on Ice Shanty of people breaking through the ice.

GenaVorn · « **Reply #9051 on:** Jan 28, 2017, 02:43 PM »

Since there no ice in any close proximity from me I decide to take a trip and go on Swan lake tomorrow. Never been in that area before .
Have couple questions : Is there any close bait shops around the lake ? Where is more convenient to park closest to the fishing grounds?
Not sure , if it's reasonable questions.... not asking for secret places ect , but if you can share this this information I'd really appreciate. I am going alone any info would l be helpful.
Thank in advance ,
Genavorn
You also can pm me , if don't want to disclose info on open forum.

greensider · « **Reply #9052 on:** Jan 28, 2017, 03:10 PM »

There is a park along 55 walk right on the lake lots of people there today

That's closest to Swan Lake if you don't go by something.

Was out on swan lake today. Pretty good day fishing. Pulled a 3lb large mouth out as well as a handful of pickeral. Flags popped up all over the lake throughout the day. There was between 8 and 10 inches of ice but the top 2in is white ice.

GenaVorn · « **Reply #9058 on:** Jan 28, 2017, 08:48 PM »

Thank you very much for your help gentlemen .Will be the first time in that area..

mr.clean · « **Reply #9059 on:** Jan 29, 2017, 03:11 AM »

Ktm115 thank you for the report on ice conditions at Swan Lake . Genavorn If you take route 17 west Liberty is exit 100 you can get to route 55 it runs through part of Liberty 55 will take you to Swan Lake. Just before you see the lake route 55 goes down hill the road crosses the lake. parking areas Greensider spoke of will be on both sides of route 55 as it goes across the lake . Have a good trip enjoy yourself.
