You are welcome ,I have not gotten out yet this season. If you have over three posts go to NY. reports-conditions community. There is a thread titled small waters Sullivan county some members post reports from time to time.

Has anyone seen ice conditions in the lower ny/nj border waters

I doubt greenwood lk is safe but just wondering if it still has ice. Also wondering about the park lakes close by in Suffern ny

you know if it stays cold and there is ice on them already, we get a chance on these local waters

I fished lake superior today I came home with 2 pickerals
the one belly was full of minnows & a small crawfish ...
the edge of the lake where I was fishing was not good it
was black ice that looked like it just froze from yesterdays
worm up ... be safe out there...

onice2013 · « **Reply #4986 on:** Jan 21, 2013, 07:56 PM »

Three days of this sub freeze weather we are getting will re freeze fast and maybe add a couple or more inches by this weekend. Maybe the ice will be thick enough in February for safe ice fishing in lower regions.

Judging from what I measured about 40 miles further north 5 to 6 inches, I would say after last night and today's overcast and all day freezing, it will be a few days sooner. I start thinking it might even freeze closer to home in Rockland / Suffern county.. coming home seen both sides of Monroe lk frozen with no water in site.

ok thanks probably sounds about right going out ice fishing probably Thursday i cant wait!

Catskill Fisher and other keep your eyes out for a Section of the Times Herald Record newspaper called What's Happening it may have an announcement about the Swam Lake contest. To my knowledge Swam lake is private property except for contests. I believe the lake is on rt.55 ,the Agway in Liberty carries live bait.
Here are some phone numbers that may be of help to all of you.

Sterling Forest state park visitors center 845-351-5907 Harriman state park Lake Tiorotti field office 845-351-2568

These two parks are managed by the Palisades Interstates Park Commission (pipc) ,for as long as i have been ice fish they have used a system of red and green signs on the lakes that they allow ice fishing on red closed green at least six inches of ice, If driving by the Lake Tiorotti traffic circle and a green flag is flying all lakes are open. (That they allow ice fishing on)

This number is for Winding Hills park off of rt.17k in the Town of Montgomery 845-457-4918 this park is close to the previously mentioned Tom;s bait shop also the Thruway Market on Oak street in Walden sells bait in their sporting goods dept. upper floor. Only the Main lake is open in winter they post a sign by entrance .(unsafe or Safe Ice . Look for Winding Hills Golf course park entrance is off of road on other side of rt,17k.

dewey you were on superior today! where were you? i was the guy bouncin around... had a decent day. 4 big gills, 4 nice perch and 1 crappie kept. 3 or 4 pickerel, a few small bass, and about 30-40 dinks... none in the same spot though. really had to work them today.

Tom's Bait Shop Rules! I take the time to drive there even if fishing in other direction. Good man. He'll take good care of you.

deweyicefish · « **Reply #4991 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 06:46 AM »

boss I was the man with the power auger ... I was fishing out toward the far end of the lake
along the shore ...I had some minnows I wanted to use up so I did not move around to much..
I left around 1pm ...I saw a man with a tub jigging his way around the lake ... when I left
were you working your way to the back of the lake?

onice2013 · « **Reply #4992 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 07:47 AM »

Superior is so clean because it is far enough from roads and sits right in the middle of state park land. No septic, motor boats or even not much road or farmland pollution drainage if that. I wish the state would start a modest warm water stocking program for black crappie and yellow perch possibly some walleye and stock bait fish for the game fish too. A fish & game program will increase better fishing opportunity for Sullivan county.

moon_dog200 · « **Reply #4993 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 09:45 AM »

i would like to see a sise limit on perch,at 10 ins, with no more than 25 fish a day, and crappie have a 9 in sise limit ,needs to go to 10 ins and no more than 15 fish a day , that would help fish reproduce,

jfishy · « **Reply #4994 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 09:59 AM »

Most lakes are over populated with stunted perch already

. Your suggestion would benefit some bodies of water, however, not all.

onice2013 · « **Reply #4996 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 10:33 AM »

I agree, bait fish is really important for maintaining productive water too. For example, one medium perch about 11 inches I cleaned from swb had about half a dozen 2 inch partially digested baby crappie in it's gut

my point is baitfish is important forage otherwise you have dinks and harder to fish water. For example the panfish in Oneida are big because of the abundance of forage. Obviously, the more baitfish, the larger the gamefish will be. Actually baitfish is what Superior probably needs to fatten up what is in there. jmho

The lakes in Harriman and Sterling Forest State Parks are flagged individually. The flag at Tiorati is now just for Tiorati. It's been that way since the early 90's. I liked the old system myself, but it is what it is. If you call Tiorati, they will give you info on ice conditions in both parks.

Hey All,
Any recommendations for fishing in Westchester County? I will be moving down there in a week for work and have already been reading into some of the reservoirs/lakes/ponds and regulations in the county. Any advice from folks who usually fish or have fished the area would be great!

Thanks,
Will

pfd5623sg · « **Reply #4999 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 02:54 PM »

first thing you need to do is get a dep permit... cant fish most places in westchester without one... most of the reservoirs you need that permit.. nys dep website search it.. and then look at the westchester /nyc update...

I wish you luck onice-but i think we are going to need 10inches in harriman before they even think of opening

onice2013 · « **Reply #5007 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 04:06 PM »

bc, I think we will be in good shape for the weekend, I'm guessing and hopeful for at least a few green flags at Harriman. Have you tried Huntington this season? John

onice2013 · « **Reply #5008 on:** Jan 22, 2013, 04:19 PM »

My guess sterling parks blue lake and the smaller ponds will open later in the week. Harriman usually wait for 7 inches and no open water anywhere on the lake (which I believe is ridiculous) but is what I was told by the park when I call to check conditions. With sub freezing temps forecasted all week , this will be interesting to see how it goes for onice2013 in Harriman
