I went open water yesterday, and the water temp was pretty cold..its gotta be in the low 40's maybe upper 30's we need like a week straight of nights in the 20's and teens before we start seeing any significant formation

I usualy say most lakes North of the Thruway can be fishable (4 iches of ice for me ) by Christmas I ve been on Delta the week before Xmas the last 2 years Old forge area and north can be as early as the first week or to of December but it all of depends on the weather. I know everyone gets itchy this time of year but lets not get to itchy its Nov 8th and open water fishing is hot right now just about everywhere.

I was on the ice last year on December 6th...By December 10th, we were on 5 inches. Of course, this is in Saranac Lake, the coldest place in NY.

No ice anywhere up this way. In fact, the water temps are still ranging into the lower 40's and the air temps are running in the mid 50's almost every day....we'll be behind schedule in getting on the ice this year as long as this continues....Esox

there must be ice in the north country, the question is how far am i going to have to drive for ice?

?

ChenBassHead · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 12, 2006, 03:56 PM »

No way is there fishable ice yet...

It has to be COLD for a sustained period of time, and it just hasn't been.

there must be ice a little south of ottawa

bigcatch81 · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 13, 2006, 11:06 AM »

Hey pro50guy when you figure out where your going to find ice let me know. I will go searching with you. Lets just stay away when there is 90+mph wind on the lake like last year. It was a little brutal out there.

pro50guy · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 13, 2006, 11:34 AM »

yeah the wind was blowing like frieght train that night. so anyway i would drive a solid five hours or so for ice, maybee next weekend if it cools down next week. im joansin for ice fishing this year i got it bad. got some new additions to the shanty we should hook up so you can check it out

bigcatch81 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 13, 2006, 12:01 PM »

I could always stop by your house since im right down the rd from you. Let me know when you bring the shanty out i will help.

sorry dude....figured you might like saving a whole bunch of gas by not driving up this way and being sorely disappointed.

Nobody is looking forward to ice more than I am, and I don't think there's ice anywhere near enough I could get to it on one tankful of gas, possibly even 2 tanks.....Esox

pro50guy · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 15, 2006, 05:38 PM »
