  Lake George Ice fishing Reports:  January 30th, 2008   Lake George has shallow cracked ice from the village north past Pilot Knob. This ice is not safe. The high winds today may break up some hard water, Although 10 degrees tonight, It will not be a cold  week,  . Have a great winter and go fishing! Please, if you want ice conditions please email instead of calling.

 Some ice fishing tips: I have done very well jigging with medium Swedish Pimples and using live bait for Lake Trout and Salmon. Perch fishing offers plenty of action and these "poor mans shrimp" are the tastiest fish out there! Fish for perch with small perch jigs, live bait or a local favorite: a perch eye on a small hook.  If you would like information on what to use, where to get tackle/bait or have any questions, email me anytime at  elockhart@adelphia.net For other info, fish307.com (website is)  www.fish307.com   they will supply you with gear, bait and licenses.

Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!  Our very first ice fishing experience was a great success and we have memories which will last a lifetime.  We just cooked our catch and it was some of the best fish we ever had.  Can't wait to come back to Lake George next year!  Save us a weekend and Happy Fishing!
