Im going to assume the conditions havent gotten any better since last post, but anyone got any tips? Just moved out here from the adirondacks and never fished it... I did a scout run and saw the access is pretty limited... Parking? Is there any point fishing below the causeway in the settling basin area? Would love to hook into my first tiger or lay some crappie on the ice... Are there actually browns in there too?

bigal409 · « **Reply #1414 on:** Jan 02, 2020, 10:59 AM »

North end usually is first to freeze. Good access along the guard rails. Several folks do well for the tigers there as well. I haven't got any decent amount of crappies there in a few years. I'm sure that someone else can chime in with some pointers.

As BigAl said along the guard rail at the dam has spots. There is also Otisco Lake Park just a little south of the dam, small lot in front of that and it is also a good access point once the main lake if frozen. There are browns in there, fish just under the ice in the bay by the restraurant.

Georgew read through all the back pages of the bs and use the search function on here for the past reports and conditions everything you need is there.. good luck fishing and I’m sure I’ll meet you out there soon

rabbitt05 · « **Reply #1419 on:** Jan 17, 2020, 12:41 PM »

I haven't had time to fish in a few years due to coaching obligations. Hoping to see a few of you out there for the first time in a long time. Good luck

Does anyone know if there is safe ice on the lake?

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1421 on:** Jan 20, 2020, 01:31 PM »

joey I personally don't give ice reports nor have I been to otisco this year but otisco always seems slower to freeze

Reel Laxin · « **Reply #1422 on:** Jan 20, 2020, 05:57 PM »

Joey, Not ready yet but its starting to finally look promising. Main lake South of Turtle Bay is still open water.

kbritt · « **Reply #1423 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 09:35 AM »

Anyone been on Otisco this week? Hoping the cold nights may have tightened it up..
Would really appreciate if anyone has recent info - always a bummer to make the long drive only to turn around...

Thanks

Thinking its gonna be a no go this yr just take your boat out

kbritt · « **Reply #1425 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 12:43 PM »

I remember as a kid once the ice was real iffy, so we walked out & pulled our canoe along on a rope... The idea was we'd just climb in if the ice started to break, and fish from there.

It's a wonder I lived to adulthood, really.

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1426 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 02:23 PM »

you dumbie .....we used a jon boat

makes ya laugh at the dumb stuff ya did as a kid

I got a great boat story.."tried to water down our boat while on the trailer. (thinking it would push easier) oh yeah boat weighs 5000#. A short few minutes later my son and I pushing on the boat. to get it tighter to the hoist. Bam nearly popped my Achillies.Talk about a dumb ars>>>

People on the ice fishing this afternoon

kbritt · « **Reply #1429 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 10:28 PM »

Can anyone report on the ice? I decided to go down to Whitney - was just about 4 inches opposite the park. Not great but enough... Fishing was very slow anyway.

I measured exactly 5" north end of main lake. Probably a dozen people at North end including a snow dog. 4 of us iced 15 tigers, couple bass. Nothing big.
