How far of a walk off broadalbin launch is it until you hit decent depth?

with the current snow conditions, more that anyone in their right mind would do...

I would bet its probably 1/2 mile walk from parking lot or better. much shorter walk going our of Sport Island or Wallys

any reports on the snow conditions on the west side of lake. Is it tuff going with 4 wheelers. Or my hope is that the strong west winds blew most of the snow to the east side of the lake. any report would be helpful. going anyway Saturday no matter what's reported here. thanks

You could give Louie a call at fuel n food. He usually has a good idea of the conditions up that way.

Out at the shanty. 15.5" of ice. Not all the snow has melted yet. Was rock hard yet at noon. Softening up a bit. Will lose rest of snow tomorrow. As long as we don't get too much rain Saturday we look to be in pretty good shape for Fuel N Food contest next weekend. Setting up to be flat, glare ice!!!!  Stay safe. Fish On!!!!

Dragged the shanty off the lake today.   A lot of rotten ice/slush on the surface, but looks solid underneath.  Shoreline looked dicey in spots and and lots of open water by the streams.

Already seeing some running water up here in the river. I am sure the run-off will break up the ice in the river this weekend...h2l

After all this rain this afternoon I am sure the edges are shot. Lake has come up over a foot in the last day and it is sure to come up more overnight. Lots of water coming into the lake today....h2l

Ice has broke up down below Northville bridge almost to Sport Island. Did a number on some of the docks that were on shore. There are a couple ice jams up in the river. When they go it will make a mess out in the lake on this end...h2l

Louie is supposed to be going out checking the lake today to make a call on the contest. We will see if it's still on. The lake is up 4' since Thursday and still climbing. Anyplace there is flow coming in is busted wide open for long stretches. It will be a shame if both contests are cancelled 2 years in a row.
