Elevation and snow cover are the answers you are looking for. Most likely the lake will be solid again, right? most likely the edges will button up, right? Do you think anyone will find an old shanty hole, or a weak spot from an incoming creek or put a machine through? Those are some fun question marks for tourney insurers and tourney organizers.
Does the Derby have to be insured? If so wouldn't you think they would have something to say about having the Derby under questionable conditions.
Any new pictures of the lake and the conditions
People out at shanty at end of Fowler Road, had to take a canoe from land to the ice.
...and your gear...? Assuming you are fishing, of course. Why else would you cross open water in a jet sled? I mean c'mon....
Well, I guess if those guys don't go through tonight we should be in a halfway decent position. Could be dangerous in spots if it freezes and covers in snow though. I'll take my chances. Spud in spud out.
Tony you are really doing everyone a favor....thank you.
Tony,How does the river look above the lake if that is good may be worth trying to fish that. I'm sure there is now ice on it I'm wondering about the flow and height.ThanksWill
The outright lies of the organization running the tourney are inexcusable. Facebook post 2 hours ago:Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club Ice Fishing Derby There is more than enough ice out on the lake to fish. People will be bringing ATVs this year. Everyone is to go out on the lake at their own discretion. See everyone for the derby this weekend!2 hrs
Does seem bizarre to have a derby with edges like whats pictured. That being said, with the weather through sat, by sunday/monday it should be locked up all around again no? I know i am planning on going out tuesday with any luck for my last day of the season.
How many feet did the lake rise?
