Just wondering if anyone has ventured out yet. Been a cold week now. I'm really hoping to try GP this week.

That area has been getting pounded with lake effect. I would guess that any ice on the Pond is under some snow but maybe a local can give us a report...

Just did a lap around the pond before the pregame festivities kick in and heres what I saw,

Wigwam they plowed a huge pile of snow blocking access to the water for anything other than ambitious mountain climbers! No one in site or tracks in the snow!

State access on Stanley is nice and cleaned out but no cars in the lot and again they piled up the snow in front of the access ramp... I'm sensing a pattern here! No tracks in the snow either.

The Elms no one in the parking lot and no tracks to the pond.... again no one in sight!!

My guess everyone went north or decided to stay home and pregame early!! Time for me to do the same cheers!!

Went from open water to skim ice for 2 days then 3 feet of snow my guess its junk ice

How is the snow on the ice? Did the rain and wind clear things up so this cold can do some good?? I'm staying up North and haven't had a chance to get over there and investigate. Boggey would have been all over this cold snap with up to the hour reports!!! Missing you Boggey!!

Yes from a distance it looks as though the snow and slush is gone. The thickness is unknown.

Birdslayer · « **Reply #65 on:** Feb 09, 2017, 07:50 PM »

Ok good as long as the snow is gone or mostly gone the cold won't take long to make ice. Thanks

It sure would be nice to have an ice report for the Pond. We miss you Jboggey!

Birdslayer · « **Reply #67 on:** Feb 10, 2017, 08:04 PM »

Finally saw a few brave souls out on the ice today.... looked like they accessed the pond by the state launch. Anyone want to report ice thickness?? I was in my work clothes so i didn't go on the ice just did a drive by.

Has anyone been off green point in the last few days or is it still broken up?

reeleyz · « **Reply #69 on:** Feb 11, 2017, 06:14 AM »

Hopefully we get some ice reports this weekend from some of you kind ladies and gentlemen.

Yup Boggey is going to be missed.

I'm far from an expert but I will check the pond on Tuesday after this lovely nor easter were getting. Will take a couple buddies and check it out.

Snowing again hopefully the wind blows it off.

I don't have an ice report but I did see a dozen trucks at Green Point and several shacks on the ice today.

KingPerch · « **Reply #75 on:** Feb 12, 2017, 07:23 PM »

A trusting bluebird told me that there is 16-18" of total crap on the pond. As of yesterday, 6-8" of snow on top, 5-6"of slush underneath, with 5-6" or so of what was called crap ice. With no black solid ice to be found. Guys are fishing the pond, yes. That's all I'm going to report!! This person spudded and drilled holes for observation purposes only!!! Not to mislead anyone into heading onto the pond to fish!! You guys were wondering the conditions, this is what I've been told!! 😎

Birdslayer · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 12, 2017, 07:54 PM »

Thanks for the reports guys!! All that crap ice makes me nervous, people get a false sense of security when they see multiple people out on the ice! I'll be using my spud frequently IF I decide to venture out next weekend!! Also, I have next week off 20th-24th (I'm a teacher) and I plan on fishing every day next week. With the ice on the pond the way it is....IF it's safe and anyone is going out and wants a fishing partner send me a PM! Safety in numbers and with a little one coming in July I promised my wife I wouldn't venture out alone!

KingPerch · « **Reply #78 on:** Feb 12, 2017, 08:31 PM »

I also heard that the good people at Greene Point Marina were turning people away from accessing the ice there. They know conditions well... they've been there a long time!!😉

Thanks trapper!!! I'm looking forward to passing on what I have learned to the next generation! Kids these days don't get that going out of your way to help a friend isn't really going out of your way, it's the right thing to do! Just like picking up someone else's trash is a responsibility that we all share and if you catch someone being a slob it's also our responsibility to tell them!! I'll do what I can to make my little one an active, responsible and respectful members of society!! Not a pulse less couch toad or video game zombie!! Sorry for the rant....long day at work!! Haha

I fished the Pond with my 4 year old son this morning. We had 8" of ice with maybe 6" of packed snow on top. We kept 15 decent perch and threw back the usual 100 dinks. We had a good time and the weather was nice.
