Hey how are ya. Im 24 years old and im trying to get my friends into ice fishing. I took a couple guys to saratoga lake and got skunked over the weekend.  I used to go with my dad alot but in his old age its tuff for him to get out.  Im looking to take my buddies somewere tomarrow.  were targeting walleys and northerns but wouldnt complain with a bunch of perch flags going off. Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice on a body of water that i can take them too where we have a good chance in flagging a few fish.  Were willing to drive a couple hours from the schenctady aread and really love the dacks.  anything you can offer would be very much appreciated. thanks guys and god luck this season.

Adirondack Lake in the town of Indian Lake would provide all the flags you could ask for in terms of keeping your buddies interested. Not a lot of big fish, okay maybe thats an understatement, but there are pike in there that are hungry. I don't really fish South of LG so I dont know any lakes in your area that might help you, but i might suggest looking around your area for ponds that you could get permission to fish. If youre looking to get guys interested in ice fishing you gotta get them onto some fish, pond fishing can be productive and fun for anyone

Hey man i actually am pretty familiar with indian lake. I do alot of deer hunting up there in the early season bow season but have never fished the lake.  I would love to take a trip up there this weekend could you maybe point me in a good direction on the lake and maybe where i can park.  That would be a huge help man thanks for the tip.
