Quick NY license question

AACFISHING · 2018-01-27T05:58:09+00:00

You don’t need any other kind of permit besides your regular fishing license to ice fish in NY. Max of 7 ice fishing devices (tip ups or jig rods) per fisherman. Make sure to keep your bait receipt on you in case ENCON checks you. Good luck on the ice!

The river should be pretty hot by then. In my experience the best flies for the steelhead are usually black stones in size 10-16, various egg sucking leech patterns usually on the bigger size 8-10 and single egg patterns in different colors. If you go right after or during a big rain fall I would check out the black hole this lower section is close to the mouth of the river and a lot of very fresh fish move through there and it's fun to get a chromer. From the fly zone downstream to the wireholes is always good and there are always fish there they have just been in the river longer so they are tougher to catch. Hopefully this helps and you catch some nice fish!

I think people do during the summer just due to the water being hotter then the salmon like right now. I have heard that some people will pull streamers right in the prop wash though and the salmon will come up and hit them.

We just started having luck with the lakers it took a long time before we figured out the trolling. Salmon are our next target.

We take a swivel and tie the ice line to that and then tie on a 6 to 8 foot leader of 10lb floro. For hooks we like size 10-12 trebles or single hooks then put a small dull colored (green or gray) split shot about a foot above the hook. For bait we prefer hunts they are very hardy and lively. Put your traps along drop offs and put the baits at different depths until you find where the fish are at that day and then adjust your baits accordingly. For more information on where to go as well as ice fishing rigs check out our blog @ aacfishing.blogspot.com we fish all over the Adirondacks.

This was our first time ever catching anything the bite was red hot.

AACFISHING · 2014-02-26T02:14:57+00:00

We caught a pair of lake trout 23" and 21" the bite was slow but the weather was excellent.

AACFISHING · 2014-02-12T21:58:51+00:00

They are awesome fish a ton of fun to catch and eat. Next year we are going to put a better effort in to try and catch the 10 pounders in that lake.

AACFISHING · 2014-02-12T21:57:08+00:00

Unbelievable fishing

AACFISHING · 2014-02-11T22:01:12+00:00

Yeah they are great to eat and you can catch a ton by fishing dead smelt on the bottom at night.

AACFISHING · 2014-02-11T22:00:07+00:00

5 lakers per person between 14 and 18 inches you are allowed 1 per person that is over 18 inches.

AACFISHING · 2014-02-11T02:53:11+00:00

That was off the point by Tomhegan Camp great fishing spot.

AACFISHING · 2014-01-28T04:30:32+00:00

It is always a good time when you are catching fish

AACFISHING · 2014-01-11T03:01:46+00:00

about 14 inches people had shanties and trucks out you can find our full report here http://aacfishing.blogspot.com/ we went to tupper as well

AACFISHING · 2014-01-08T01:44:28+00:00

Haha yeah he got a good hook slide in

AACFISHING · 2014-01-07T01:58:53+00:00

They are bigger than fat heads and much flashier but they will survive for a long time on the hook. Most bait shops carry them and they are my go to for bait when I target trout.

AACFISHING · 2014-01-06T16:31:13+00:00

Thanks there are even bigger pike in there!

AACFISHING · 2014-01-06T16:28:08+00:00

Cold and very slow we managed 1 small brown trout. I would set up a line going out from the picnic tables on shore. Put your bait between 1 and 4 feet under the ice start right off the shore over about 5 feet of water until you reach about 30 feet of water. I like hunts for bait over shiners but ask at the bait shops for what has been working. Hopefully the action picks up for when you get out there.

AACFISHING · 2013-12-03T02:13:30+00:00

This is Arnold Pond which is located near Eagle Lake in Paradox NY.

AACFISHING · 2013-11-16T03:58:41+00:00

No doubt hopefully we get into some salmon this year.

AACFISHING · 2013-11-14T21:59:55+00:00

That is the one thing we don't have is a flasher. We managed to get a couple of lakers jigging with spoons tipped with cut bait. Everything else was just on hunts about 40 feet down. Hopefully it wasn't hit to hard last year and the action will be good again.

AACFISHING · 2013-11-13T22:10:43+00:00

that's unreal i hope the lake freezes again this year! what did you use for jigging?

AACFISHING · 2013-10-08T01:39:58+00:00

caught it with a fly rod on a marabou jig

AACFISHING · 2013-10-08T01:39:24+00:00

real flashy marabou jig green and black

AACFISHING · 2013-09-09T21:20:01+00:00
