A couple friends and I are renting a place near Piseco lake for a few days next week and wanted to try out ice fishing. Most of us have some experience with regular fishing or deep sea fishing, so we have some idea of what we're doing, plus we've spent a ton of time researching the sport (been lurking on here and a few other sites for weeks now, you guys sure are informative!) but we've been having trouble finding places near that area that rent ice shelters and maybe some other equipment like augers (we might just pick one up via craigslist). We're coming up from NYC, so finding a place to rent an affordable shanty on the way up would be awesome.
Also, totally open to any beginners tips, lifehacks, etc you guys have to offer!
