judging by the recent posts here, I'm guessing it's a no go for tomorrow? What say you?

Never fished NY before. Just moved to Cuse. I've got an itch I hope to scratch tomorrow. I'm going to be going on a drive to find some ice. If I end up checking Otisco I'll fill you in on the ice conditions. I'm assuming I can park near that dam I can see on google maps? Looks like theres a little park or something there.

Yes. You can park roadside near the dam. If u go there, watch out for the culvert about halfway down the guard rail. There's almost always open water there. You can also find a county park a couple miles south of the dam, on the east side. But if the ice is no good by the dam, it's most likely no good at the park.

Thanks for the tip. I'd like to avoid a January swim.

I was there for maybe 30minutes. I went out and to the left with my girlfriend and there was only 1 1/2 - 2 inches of good black ice over there. Didn't stay long though because there wasn't a lot of ice and it cracked a few times real good and even sunk a little. There were some other guys out there too but I'm going to give it a few more days before I go back out there. No fish to me is worth getting wet for in January!

Probably a blessing in disguise.  Drove by at 4 yesterday and not a soul on the ice.  Lots of water on the ice and plenty of open water as well.
