Hey all. New fella to the region, but not new to hardwater. New job and new place, living in Elizabethtown. Can't wait to hit some of these lakes this year. Also excited to chase Lakers for the first time. Here's to a good and safe year on the ice for all of us, cheers!

Welcome. You should try Schroon lake or Lake George for lakers. These lakes are infested with lakers.

I've been reading the Lake George bs thread all day. It's just making it worse! Been reading about Schroon and lincoln pond too

I might as well go get my brothers boat and go see if i can catch a fall fatty musky this week jeez... Im drewling over Abu's new Revo Toro Beast.

fordman · « **Reply #2288 on:** Dec 08, 2015, 04:33 AM »

Wish I had musky close by. Great week for trolling pike. Bite has been real good for river walleye.

northernnyice · « **Reply #2289 on:** Dec 09, 2015, 10:42 PM »

Worked on the boat a little today and ordered a couple new musky baits lol. This weather is lousy...

hickgtx600f4 · « **Reply #2290 on:** Dec 10, 2015, 07:56 AM »

Kinda regretting putting the boat away myself. May have to start working on my Frabill ice shuttle I picked up this summer. Thinking flasher mount and auger rack of some sort for early ice walking. Definitely have the time to work on it.

If there's not a drastic change in the weather I don't think we will be on ice before New Years.

I agree. Maybe small ponds at best

My daughter is going to school at NCCC in Saranac, is there any good fishing at Lake Flower? We plan on making a couple trips up this winter. Thanks

joefish · « **Reply #2294 on:** Dec 12, 2015, 05:45 AM »

JBoggey1 Wow where have you been hiding ? Thought you might have been sucked up in a swamp or something. Water is low low here and I am ready to get the boat back out. I got word they were getting a few over in the Pickton channel.

Anybody feel like fishing in the morning? My softwater gear is down state....but I'm taking my ice rods and im gonna catch some fish somewhere tmmrw....Ive been craving a fish fry. I'm thinking brookies somewhere

Adkrs · « **Reply #2297 on:** Dec 21, 2015, 05:42 PM »

Well. I couldn't wait for ice to get some fish to eat. And I sure as hell wasnt going to buy fish. So I went down to schroon and caught a pair of brookies. Perfect for dinner. The bullwhip and slender spoon did the trick.

Beautiful fish.

Thanks fellas. First time I've tried brook trout (only have browns and rainbows back home)...they were fantastic. How do they compare to Lake trout being that they're both char?

Nice Brookie

Word on the street down in the case area is some small pond around Saranac Lake has fishable ice. Guys in the bait shop this am heading that way this weekend. I call BS!

step2jimi · « **Reply #2303 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 05:07 PM »

According to the weather app on my phone that area is supposed to see some extended below freezing temp after monday. I haven't heard of anything but open water from my conections up thete.

BS is right. Skim ice the other day - gone today and tomorrow. They will be wading.

cnyiceboy · « **Reply #2305 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 05:14 PM »

I figured as much.

This lake is almost always the first fishable ice in NY. But I'm pretty sure its not frozen yet...

Adkrs · « **Reply #2307 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 05:22 PM »

Small ponds should make ice next week. Let's hope

rball · « **Reply #2308 on:** Dec 23, 2015, 06:26 PM »

I live in saranac lake and i have been boat fishing every other day.....there is no ice. We had some on a small 2 foot deep mucky pond for a day. Looking at lower 60s tomorrow. It looks like after the 1st we will be making ice.....With that said i will be keeping everyone posted on the conditions as i literally fish several times a week.

Anybody get anything good? Got a new buddy heater and a new scale
