12 to 16 inches of ice. Lake Trout fishing good, not great, but good.

Any tips or tricks for this lake never fished there

If you can catch some smelt, use them for bait. I use suckers for lake trout here if I don't have smelt.

A few inches of snow on ice. No access points for trucks to get on.

Shouldn't have any issues with ice. There's been a good ice for the last month or so. Not sure what the snow conditions will be but when i was there last week, we had well over 10" in most spots. ATVs and Sleds tracks were all over and with the subzero temps this past weekend, im sure there will be plenty up there for a long while. Lakers were very picky but i spoke to a local ECO officer who said he had talked to a few guys who had been doing well. Smelt for tip ups is definitely the way to go if you can jig them up. Perch have been steady whenever ive made it up there, with a good school moving thru every 20 minutes or so

wec · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 16, 2019, 03:03 PM »

There all over, but I’ve had the luck with them 35-40 fow.

wec · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 08, 2019, 04:27 PM »

Mostly all ice, a few small patches of snow here and there,

Heading up for the Indian Lake tournament this Saturday 2/23. By chance is there parking for truck and trailer and ATV access at the launch? My legs and back aren't what they used to be. Looking forward to seeing lots of nice fish come up, even if it's not me. Thanks for any intel.

The boat launch at Indian Lake Islands Campsite is plowed, get their early to get your truck and trailer parked ok. There is also a couple of pull offs just north of the campsite entrance that are plowed.

Mr.Esox · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 18, 2019, 12:12 PM »

Parking will be an issue that's why were not entering .

Evil Tom · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 18, 2019, 01:42 PM »

Real early like 3am early.Gonna be a poop show.Over 200 entries and parking for mabye 50 vehicles without trailers.

Brucebob7 · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 05:32 AM »

Yes I feel it was a bad choice to move the Tournament to indian lake I am also not fishing Should be a circus!!

Tightliness · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 09:56 AM »

Considering There was less then 10 pike caught on Adirondack last year out of 200 people I don’t think it was a bad idea to move it

Evil Tom · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 02:32 PM »

I agree tightlines been fishing that tournament for a couple years now and every year the fishing got worse and worse not sure why some say grass carp??.But I just hope they don't think we're all gonna car pool.

hounddogstupid · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 06:34 PM »

Parking may be an issue but I hope the tournament goes off without a hitch. I thank the organizers of the tournament for trying to make a change for the better with the fishing slowing down so bad on Adirondack. Hopefully everyone who does come out has a good time and lands some fish. Good luck to those who support the derby

Evil Tom · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 19, 2019, 07:47 PM »

Thanks for the heads up.I have a couple of guys riding up with me to eliminate a couple of vehicles. Have there been many atv's on the lake? I just want to make sure I stay on top of the ice, I hear it's pretty thick but still best to ask. Thanks again!

20-22 inches of ice. ATV's and snowmobiles have been using the lake. 3-5 inches of snow on ice.

Once again, Thanks for the assistance. I don't get the opportunity to get out ice fishing much. Good people like you are valuable to part timers like myself. Tight lines and much luck to you!
