Ice Fishing

With the temperature dropping as we venture deeper into winter, it is often hard to think of fun outdoor activities. However, one activity that we can only do in the winter, and often gets overlooked, is ice fishing. Harriman State Park might be one of the greatest places in the region to take part in this remarkable sport. Ice Fishing requires the same skill and knowledge as does open water angling. However, to be a successful ice fisher takes some study. First, you must familiarize yourself with the water to be fished, the equipment needed, as well as, proper clothing. Certainly, the most important thing to remember is safety. While ice fishing can be a very fun and rewarding activity, it also can be very dangerous if the proper safety precautions are not taken. The best places to go would be lakes, as running water will tend to freeze last and not be as thick as bodies of still water. As a rule of thumb, the State Department of Environmental Conservation states that more than one person should not venture onto the ice unless it is at least three inches thick, but of course, always use common sense and make sure you get your fishing license first.
