My local lakes are primed ...windless nights and freezing temperatures have capped them over several times ...only to to be broken up by wind and/or above freezing temperatures ..looks to be some good weather coming our way . It may not be long lasting so due diligence when trekking out there .

Otsego County is hardly western NY, unless everything west of the Hudson qualifies.

I wish it was still on swinging bridge I’m skeptical king of the ice will even go on this year 8 days of cold then back to 45!! Superior had a derby last year that was ran on very minimal ice I didn’t see that on the list this year tho we used to fish a great derby in pa Perkins pond rod and gun club they had kegs on ice incredible food spread and fishing was ok couple hundred ppl on a pond n some crappies still bit

Yeah let’s post Great Lake Superior on the ny board a lake only 1200 miles away with cold water fish like lakers n browns making up majority of ice catch Jesus Christ 


the thoughts people have are truly incredible

[Lucky13]

I can agree. Who would pay a $60.00 entry fee to fish on some 80 acre overgrown pond?

Drove through Carmel this morning, and saw someone out on Lake Carmel.  There cant be more than 3 inches out there.  A friend checked another lake, and there were only 2 inches of ice.  Carmel in Put county.

KB it wouldn't surprise me to hear of a rescue before the weekend is out.  Everywhere I spudded in Putnam today was 2 1/2" or less and most was crap quality at that.  That said I saw some sled tracks and holes cut. 

[kb]

I wouldnt be surprise either.  People are excited to get out, but its not worth your life.    Heard someone already went through on White Pond yesterday.

Miles59,
    I have a cabin on the lake Tennanah runs in to. Both are private and you will get chased off. When I was a kid, we used to fish it with locals and have them on our lake as well. Over the years, a lot of owners changed and more $ is being invested for stocking, weeds, Lillie’s, etc. it has become very difficult to fish for awhile now. I get my hump busted all the time on my lake and my family has been there for 60 years….
