I was driving in the hills of Morrisville,NY at 3pm and it was snowing. I drove around all the lakes and resevoirs in the area and was drooling. I just accepted a chef position out that way, and will be living 2.7 miles from my 2 favorite Crappie lakes. Yeah

5:08 PM and it's snowing pretty hard here in Tupper Lake.  Temp has dropped 8 degrees in the last 1 1/2hrs.  Looks like old man winter is here.

[ChenBassHead]

I just heard that we're now talking up to 12" of snow in the high peaks of the Daks and 7" in the Berkshires.     That'll knock down some leaves. 

Oh yeah, the snow is coming down heavy up here near Saranac Lake!  8) I'm hoping to be on the ice before December 1st!  Bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zach, my sophomore year, it got cold.  Like, real cold.  As in "coldest place in the nation" for a day cold.  11 days straight w/o going above zero on the ol' °F scale.  I drove into Saranac Lake during that stretch, and popped the hood to check my oil - still had frost on the block!

[ChenBassHead]

Yeah Chucker, thats what I hear....it's definitely the coldest place in the state, and one of the coldest in the Lower 48...but I don't mind. All it means is that I'll be on the ice while others are sitting around complaining about not having any!

Chef, what's for dinner?  Walleye, I hope!!  Good luck on the new job.  Do you have an official chef hat?  I got one last year for Xmas, for BBQs.  You'll still have plenty of icetime for the crappies?!  I'm pecilling in a few trips up that way this year for sure...

PS - I got 12 inches last night.  That should drop the water temps quite a bit.  Had to dodge a lot of trees and electric wires tho...

[AugustWest]

Thanks Ol Crawdad I will miss living right on Skaneateles Lake, but there are more fishing opportunities where I am moving. Plus I grew up in the area I am moving and know all those (9 lakes/res) very well. Having all the bells and whistles out there now as opposed to 10-20 years ago should be to my advantage. I am going to finally get a chance to really hunt for those big walleyes that are in some of those haunts. Did I mention all those crappies too

[AugustWest]

Yes I will

The Madison county chain rocks.I happen to live 300yrds from Lebanon resivoir.My kids really like to icefish there-plenty of action.Peace and One Love BigD

[AD]

Yes I will

If your looking for a fun day chasing tip-ups for pickerel Deruyter is the place to be, we had several days catching #'s of fish in the teens, and if we had gone for full days we would have been able to catch probably 20+.     Good days there.   
    I went to college at Morrisville, and fished most of the lakes around.     
     You might also want to sheck out Stony Pond, its a bit of a hike but wont be bad if you have a snow-mobile.    That lake gets almost 0 pressure in the winter, its fairly small but I know it holds some decent perch, crappies bass and pickerel, and some bullhead too.     Even rumors of some channel cats in there.   
     Upper and Lower Leland...... I think that is what they are called (Right outside of Hamilton) Hold some decent fish, some panfish, tiger muskies and decent trout, have heard of 6-9 pound browns coming out of there through the ice in the winter.   
     You are moving to a great area to ice fish without having to drive far at all.   

[The Clam]

I don't think there's a Madison County lake that's not good fishing, and the nice thing is they freeze earlier than the big lakes
