Ice Fishing
Grab your gear, and make sure you dress warm! Ice Fishing plays an important role in the Original Vacation for anglers everywhere.
Ice fishing is not only a great way to enjoy the outdoors during the winter months, but it also provides a unique and exciting fishing experience. Remember to always check the ice conditions before heading out, and to fish responsibly to protect the environment.
Winter's ice is said to be particularly special, allowing access to many sections of lakes and ponds that would otherwise be inaccessible to those without a boat. Once the ice is safe for walking, expect to find plentiful trout, salmon, and even yellow perch (among others).
Many of the lakes and ponds in the area make for premier locations, and you can discover these options by checking out the New York State's DEC page.
