Ice will be just fine but bring your Ice Anchors. Should have steady winds between 20-30 MPH and gusts as high as 60.

Filled a bucket with 15 crappy between 12-16”, 10 perch 1 was over 14” and 60 plus bluegills with 1 other guy great day and weather on the ice today

Went to Swinging Bridge, only one flag all day. Didn't catch a thing. My friend got 7 dink yellows jigging. Ice 8-12.5", just down from the launch towards the dam is all open water. Pretty slow for everyone else. Apparently, the walleye fishing has been terrible for the last 4 years according to some regulars there.

greensider · « **Reply #10719 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 02:23 PM »

No pictures of the 16 inch crappie

tipup28 · « **Reply #10720 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 03:58 PM »

Got out for a bit with my father this evening. Jigging was dead, two small largemouth on tip ups (released.)

Sylvan is done. Mostly open water, and what ice there is, is shot.

catskills · « **Reply #10725 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 08:05 AM »

made it out saturday on Yankee. Same 8-10" of ice. Not a flag all afternoon and just a few dink perch. And when I say "dink" I mean they were the size of medium shiners. Great time but slowww

kb · « **Reply #10726 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 10:10 AM »

Got out over the weekend with the wife to one of my favorite haunts. We hit the perch pretty good.

tipup28 · « **Reply #10727 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 06:58 PM »

Went to Chodikee this evening. Also got two largemouth jigging. Two run & drops and broke off a nice fish on tip ups. 10.5" ice.

tipup28 · « **Reply #10728 on:** Feb 26, 2019, 09:22 AM »

Two gills and a nice largemouth this morning.

perch assasin · « **Reply #10729 on:** Feb 26, 2019, 02:48 PM »

i tried posting on the reports and conditions page and got no replies, i was looking for ice conditions for the east of the hudson reserviors boyds, west branch, east branch,diverting, etc any info is greatly appreciated lookin to go out in the next few days

Canoejon · « **Reply #10730 on:** Feb 26, 2019, 06:47 PM »

I was last on Boyd’s last Wednesday. There was at least 6” of good ice under an inch of crud. My guess is that the ice held through this last warm spell, but the edges probably got so a plank might be needed. I’m hoping by Thursday it should be good again. I’m talking about around the DEP ramp, up to 30 FOW. I couldn’t tell you about deeper water closer to the dam.
As far as Sodom, and West Branch, there were a few spots that were safe last week, but they weren’t where I wanted to be on those lakes, so I didn’t go there and can’t tell you what they were like last week or what they’re like now.

Hopefully someone who lives nearby will post something tomorrow.

6 largemouth (released) and one bluegill this morning.

Does anyone know the conditions on Sturgeon Pool??

Rather-B-Fishin · « **Reply #10732 on:** Feb 27, 2019, 10:21 PM »

given the flux in temps and water flow, I would stay off Sturgeon pool.I live on the Shawangunk kill nad it was roaring the other day, now a skim coat of ice, again. Plus, what would you fish for that you would eat? yuck the Wallkill! unless you are strictly catch and release.

Can't be any worse than the Hudson

tipup28 · « **Reply #10734 on:** Feb 28, 2019, 09:25 AM »

I've contacted DEC about eating fish from the Wallkill and they said it was fine. The advisories give it a blue rating which is the highest you can get. Sure doesn't look too clean though lol.

greensider · « **Reply #10735 on:** Feb 28, 2019, 10:15 AM »

That's not what the report last summer said it said not to even touch the water

catskills · « **Reply #10736 on:** Feb 28, 2019, 10:34 AM »

the wallkill scares me due to the amount of development it goes thru. Including that golf course in middletown. That cannot be good. Although I do tend to trust the dec so..

better late then never for a report i guess. fished yankee last weekend. half day friday and all day saturday. caught 2 pickerel so it was nice we didnt get skunked, but only 2 fish? damn, so disappointing but the kids had fun. will be back next year, hopefully more mobile. couldnt believe how thick the ice was, you guys have it great compared to us southerners in nj.

tipup28 · « **Reply #10739 on:** Mar 01, 2019, 08:32 PM »

Drove by Sturgeon Pool last night, open near the inlet next to the coffee shop but people were fishing on the far backside of that cove still. Went to Rondout Creek , a foot of ice. Got a white sucker, yellow perch and bluegill. Went down to Diamond Lake, three yellows and my friend got one.
