  • Yeah I'm a redneck, I could ice fish for a living.
i want to go wednesday with a friend, keep me informed guys. thinking of highland.

I went up to Highland to check it out today.  Wow, that thing is probably 40% open now thanks to the rain and the rest has just a skim on it  Suppose to be cold this week though so we will see.

  • new windsor,ny.
Greetings I hope everyone had a good Christmas and want to wish you all a Happy New Year full of good fishing. Since we are all looking for safe ice thought I should post the phone number for Winding Hills Park ranger station (Orange County owned/operated) off of route 17k in the town of Montgomery. Diamond Lake is the only one of the three bodies of water in the park open to ice fishing contains yellow perch,large mouth bass and sunfish. Small lake maybe fifty acres in size yellow perch average eight to ten inches in length. The park is not to far from Tom's Bait Shop in Fair Oaks,NY. or Thruway Market in Walden,NY.(Live bait for tip ups)
 
 ranger station phone number (845-457-4918)  the main gate of the park closes at 4:45 pm believe they open at 8:00 am

I gotta find a link, but as of Jan 6, 2010, the 7 day bait law is being changed to 10 days...not much difference, but a step in the right direction  :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbsup:
