Drove down lake today.
North end I believe was safe for fishing last week
That’s no longer the case!
No one was out, so I assume it’s no longer safe!
I was bummed

Hey Tom
I like the new look!
I have been fishing up North.  Looking like maybe another bust year for good ice on No-fishco
When the going gets weird the weird turn pro.

Patience Eric, patience. Lot of time. You gotta wait it out for that big one to bite. Hopefully able to get out in a couple weeks. Got some north plans also, hope to see you on Otisco

If you sit around all day and do nothing your a bum, but if you sit in a boat all day or in a shanty and do nothing they call you a fisherman

Anyone know how thick the ice is on north end of otisco?  Trying to decide it's worth a trip up there...

Otisco Lake Ice conditions/general info
« Reply #1547 on: Jan 24, 2021, 06:30 AM »
I was checking in to see if anyone could provide ice conditions at Otisco?  Was specifically questioning ice thickness on the main body of the lake in front of the Lakeside Vista Restaurant?  Was thinking of heading up for some catch and release Tiger action next weekend.  Also, if that doesn't pan out, any tips of perch fishing there?  Thanks and tight lines.

I was on the north end today. There's about 4-5" of ice with a bunch of slush on top. Plenty of folks out there. Saw south end iced over on drive up but not sure how thick it is. Main lake has no ice.

I went up to the north end today.  Open water out near the narrows.  Be careful.  I measured 3 inches of good ice, with questionable ice/snow/slush on top of that just south of the dam.  I saw 2 spots where it looked like the ice had broken and someone got a wet leg.
 Everyone is between the narrows and the dam.  Ice is not safe out in front of the park.  You can see several open water spots.

Roger that Big Guy. No good reason to basically set up a mine field thru the area. Not cool as someone will get hurt.

If you want to get on the main lake bring a boat. Main lake was open on Sunday.

Thanks for all the feedback.  I'm hoping after this week, things should tighten up a bit.  If all goes bad, there's always Tully Lake right there.
