I feel this thread needed to be started so the reports/condition board won't get full of BS and cause temper tantrums.

Anyway, I wish for a long, and productive ice season on Black Lake.

Can't wait to get up there. Had a great season last year. Its a beautiful lake to fish.

OneidaAngler · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 02:12 PM »

Yes it is. I fished it for the first time last year and had a blast. I was limited to Rollway Bay last season but I hope to fish more of the lake this year.

All those lakes up that way are beautiful to fish

My family had a camp on butterfield growing up. LOVE IT and still do

pondskipper · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 02:18 PM »

Do you fish it through the ice still?

cnyiceboy · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 02:19 PM »

I do yes

pondskipper · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 02:24 PM »

I want to get up there this year. I've put it off for to long now.

cnyiceboy · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 02:26 PM »

It's a great place to fish if you know the water or it can be a huge pain in the butt if you don't. Depends on what you want to target as well.

For those interested in an update for Black Lake. Ice conditions reported range from open holes to up to 4 inches of ice in places. People have been venturing out. Would recommend walking only at this point. Some snow and slush on ice. As always areas of pressure ridges and current are least safe. Happy fishing everyone.

Thanks for the up date

Do you think that ice could be better on Mile Arm? It is alittle further north.

weasel5 · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 15, 2014, 03:03 PM »

I will be heading up to Black Lake on December 29th and will be staying nearby overnight and fishing the 30th. Looking for some help in finding a spot to get access to the lake with parking and hopefully not too long of a walk out. Looking to target crappies and gills, and also would like to know of any nearby baitshops. Any help in general would be appreciated. Fish safe and thanks for the help.

wow its nice to see that guys are out....im going to be headed to the black next week hopefully if the weather cooperates!

Cheeks13 · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 05:11 AM »

The ice could be better on Mile Arm... not because its farther north (its at the south west end) but because its sheltered. Acsess is difficult unless you know someone.

Floatman · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 07:18 AM »

Ah, yes, the good old days when there was no gate and you could drive in to Mile Arm. But, camp owners finally had enough of the slobs and that was that.

You guys planning on fishing the Ice Pro-Am event on January 31st and/or the NYS Winter Classic? Just trying to get a feeling for the Pro-Am event. Thanks!

Cheeks13 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 09:02 AM »

Me too. Even with permission... written permission, you still get harrassed. $:-\$

kidretro · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 08:18 PM »

same here! the same guy comes out every time we park at a private camp with permission!
he lives there all year! he calms down when he realizes.....with permission there is nothing he can do about it!
obviously we leave no trash and clean up any junk if we see it! not a good idea to go there without permission!!!
he watches that place like a hawk!

FISHFORPIKE · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 16, 2014, 08:26 PM »

Had a run-in with that guy. What an AH!

Still not easy access. That can be a long treacherous drive. The other side is shorter and walkable but still all private. Wouldn't it be nice if the State bought some access in there and opened it up? Nice in there in the soft-water season too. Gets you away from what can be a very rough main lake and into some decent fishing territory.

Cheeks13 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 17, 2014, 05:14 AM »

I bet he would change his tune if ya left him a case of PBR or Natural Ice. Guy is a pain. $:-\$

Hey thinking about taking my father out to Black Lake in search of some pan fish this weekend. I have only been there once in the spring for crappie. Looking for a report or any pointers. I know a lot of guys are tight lipped up there so any info would be greatly appreciated even through a p.m. - Thanks Mikey ice Fish

kidretro · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 19, 2014, 09:26 AM »

call chapmans. stop in and buy some of their bait and tackle! they will hook you up! good luck!

travis.kling · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 19, 2014, 09:41 AM »

Does anyone know if Fish Creek Bait Shop in RT.58 is open. His shop was right ip the road from rollaway bay. I lost his number from last year and can't find him on the Internet anywhere.

mikey ice fish · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 19, 2014, 10:23 AM »

Thanks kidretro. That's probably my best bet buying bait at chapmans and asking for info in person rather than calling

You got safe ice up there yet?
