MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Heading out there tomorrow after work can I park on fitch rd and also if that would be a good walleye spot
Here's a thought Make it illegal to bring car's and truck's on any frozen lake. Get caught get heavy fine or jail time.
Jail time!!??? really?? I say we ban all bans!!!
New to fishing Saratoga, wondering if anyone had areas to access with good ice. Weather hasn’t been cooperating recently.... Thanks!
I was out on 'Toga yesterday until the wind got to be too much. Measured 2-2.5ft of ice, depending on where we were. We park on Fitch Rd., north end of the lake, a little south of Stewarts. Make sure you observe the no parking signs and keep your tires OFF the pavement. Otherwise you will get a ticket. Had one hit & run flag, one bite off. The guys about 50 yards away caught some perch and walleyes. The edges were solid but just a little rough from melt & refreeze, but perfectly safe. Watch for traffic when crossing from Fitch to the lake. Traffic can be busy at times.I know it was a big issue a couple weeks ago but with 24-30 inches of ice as you just posted why would you have to worry about parking on Fitch rd and not just drive out on the lake itself?

As much ice as you might think that is out there, Saratoga is NOT a safe lake during any ice conditions. That lake has so many springs In it, that would would never know it until your truck front end drops down. It’s a small lake. Walking doesn’t hurt.
Agreed... even after fishing this lake my entire life and knowing where many of the spring holes are I wouldn't drive out there.
You measured 24-30" ice of fitch??? We were there twice last week and was about 10"-12". Not sure how it made 18" ice in a week since it was well above freezing last week. Odd
The only way you measured that much ice on Saratoga is if you were drilling on the piled up ice ridge that the wind broke up and then froze again before the lake locked up solid, and you happened to be cutting through chunks of ice layered on top of each other...
Restaurant on south end used o let you park and access for a fee.Well worth it for no hassles,dont know if they still do it or not
Can you park on Fitch rd to access the lake? Bunch of no parking signs
