Overnight low was 31F ...had a brief snow shower last night . Its getting there folks . It was kind of fitting as I was helping my buddy put together his Eskimo 2600 thermal in the daylight hours ...that is a nice shelter .. lots of room and the assembly was pretty straight forward ..the trim lock still needs to be installed. Tested the Power Practical LED 10' color strip with a Dewalt battery and USB adapter...worked well and very bright .

I’ve been using the Eskimo 2600 for a few years. It’s an awesome shelter. Stays warm. Seats are comfortable for long days

Best of luck. Stay safe

Hey Guys , Merry Christmas. Hope all has been well with you. Getting ready to take the flintlock out, then a little re con for hardwater. Shouldn't be long. Be well.

Good luck with the smoke pole. I’m headed out tomorrow, and will finish off the season before I start checking ice.

It’s been a very slow year, we think that EHD took its toll on the population here. We just are not seeing any deer.

Use the Reports and Conditions Board for that inquiry.

Merry xmas everyone! Any one check any ice in Orange County i live in Monroe and the village mark the local pond safe to ice skate. Round lake was locked up as prior to the freeze we had and walton was open water that same day (last wensday)

Folks in my area have found fishable ice ...I assume further north would fair much better ...south of me would not be advisable .

Greetings may everyone's Christmas or Chanukah have been good ones. I'm not sure how long what ice we have on lakes and ponds will last given the current warm spell.

Hardwater diehard thank you for the information on the Swan Lake fire dept. ice fishing contest you saved me from writing a letter to contact person I have for that contest. I believe you are correct and Liberty(NY.) Agway does sell bait for fishing. Monticello Home and Garden on route 17B about one mile past the raceway heading towards White Lake also sells bait for fishing. Unless the store set up has changed the sporting goods area is located at rear of the store.

Good fishing wished to everyone keep safe on the recently formed ice.

Soooo close. This thaw seems like a long one, till the tenth I've been reading. There are not many years that Ive been on the ice before New Years.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 30, 2022, 07:57 PM »

Was able to get on my local for 3 straight days.. late afternoon into the night bite ...cant say it was very productive but it was fun to got to shake out the cob webs ..and test some new gear.

mr.clean · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 30, 2022, 08:35 PM »

Hardwater diehard glad you were able to get out and fish while lakes by you had ice. thanks for the information on bait shop in White lake.

I do not believe any lakes are open for ice fishing at this time. but for everyone's knowledge here are phone numbers for Bear Mountain,Harriman,Rockland Lake and Sterling Forest state parks.

Bear Mountain (845)-786-2701
Tiorotti beach (Harriman) (845)-429-8257
Rockland lake (845)-268-3020
Sterling Forest (8450-351-5907

I strongly suggest calling before traveling to any of these parks especially if driving for one hour or more to reach them. Remember only certain lakes in Harriman and Sterling Forest are open to ice fishing. The agency which manages these parks requires a minimum of 6 inches of ice over majority of a lake before opening it to ice fishing. There are signs Red lake closed ,Green lake is open .

Hope this is of some help to folks.
Steve
