Winter weather is no reason to avoid fishing. In fact, that's not the Adirondack way.

Ice fishing is a treasured tradition in the North Country. From the expanse of Schroon Lake, which supports a village of shanties and tents, to little ponds that freeze first and let anglers jump on the season, the Adirondack Gore Mountain and Schroon Lake region is a treasure trove of hard water.
