Ice fishing in New York State

[davetclown]

[size 2]Most all ponds and lakes offer ice fishing potential. Their characteristics define the kinds of fish that may be caught. Large, shallower ponds and lakes favor species such as chain pickerel, northern pike, yellow perch and sunfish. Deepwater lakes need to be fished selectively to get good catches of northern pike, walleye or lake trout. Brown trout, rainbow trout and landlocked salmon, where they may legally be taken, are often found in deep lakes, which provide necessary cool temperatures in the summertime. However, when these lakes are ice-covered, trout are frequently caught while cruising just a few feet under the ice.[/size] [center][size 3]Fish, Wildlife, and Marine Resources Calendar[/size][/center] [center][font "arial, helvetica"][#000099][size 3]What's Happening this year - 2002[/size][/#000099][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal01.htm"][#0000ff]January[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal02.htm"][#0000ff]February[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal03.htm"]March[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal04.htm"]April[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal05.htm"][#0000ff]May[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal06.htm"]June[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal07.htm"]July[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal08.htm"]August[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal09.htm"][#0000ff]September[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal10.htm"][#606420]October[/#606420][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal11.htm"][#606420]November[/#606420][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal12.htm"][#0000ff]December[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][#000099][size 3]What's Happening next year - 2003[/size][/#000099][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal01n.htm"][#0000ff]January[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal02n.htm"][#0000ff]February[/#0000ff][/url] [/size][/font][font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal03n.htm"]March[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font] [font "arial, helvetica"][#0000ff][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/cal04n.htm"]April[/url][/size][/#0000ff][/font][/center] [center]click on for[/center] [center][size 3][url "http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/marine/swflaws.htm"]Recreational Saltwater Fishing Seasons,
