New to forum; Cowanesque lake questions.

[Chas0218]

Like the title says I am new to the forum and I was just wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me.

I currently live less than 10 mins. away from Cowanesque lake in NY and need to know a little information about the area.  I tried calling the game and fish warden but no returned phone calls nor did anyo0ne answer. 

Do they permit ice fishing on the lake? 
If they do where is the closest area to Rt. 15 at the NY border that I can pick up a non-resident fishing license?
What region is that lake in?
And lastly do they allow gas powered augers.

I was over on the lake today and at the Southwest end (at the boat ramps) there is an easy 6" of ice

Thank you,
Chas

Cowanesque is in PA.  If you are from NY, better get a PA license.

Ya I was planning on getting one today so I can fish this weekend.  Are these fishing licenses effective jan1st to dec 31st?  I can ask today when I go but figured you guys might be able to answer first.  I would buy one online but my printer is out of ink so its time to buy another printer (ink cartridge cost as much as a new printer.)

The 2011 license is good from Dec 1, 2010 to Dec 31, 2011. Good luck and report back please.

Went out today and got shunked, not a single hit.  I poked around a little bit but didn't seem to make any progress.  I found a couple of drop of ledges where I fished them pretty good with no success.  I am going to try and get some live bait and throw out my tip-ups and see if I can get a hit or 2.  I would to get into some eyes but time will tell.  Is the ice season still early enough to be fishing in the shallows? 

I'm thinking of meandering up towards the inlet to see if anything is up in the flooded timber after I get some live bait. Wish Me Luck!
