NORTH COUNTRY | The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) advises anyone ice fishing to make sure the ice is thick enough before heading out onto a frozen lake.

Four inches of solid ice is usually enough when ice fishing, according to the agency.

Ice thickness, however, can vary on waterbodies and even within the same waterbody. Fishermen should pay particular attention to areas of moving water and around boat docks and houses where bubblers may be installed to reduce ice buildup.

Snowmobile tracks or footprints on the ice should not be taken as evidence of safe ice conditions.

“Individuals are strongly encouraged to check ice conditions and avoid situations that appear to present even a remote risk,” the DEC said in a news release.

Individuals can easily test the thickness of ice by drilling with an auger or using an ice spud at various spots.

“Ice fishing is a popular sport in New York State and with the post-Christmas drop in temperature, I am sure anglers are looking forward to an early start to the season this year,” said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. “The rush to get out onto the ice can lead to tragedy unless anglers remain vigilant to the condition of the ice. Anglers should heed DEC’s recommendation of at least four inches of solid clear ice before venturing out on the ice.”

The DEC said ice fishing continues to increase in popularity in New York state, in part, because no boat is required.

Families can also engage in skating, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or other activities during an ice fishing trip.

Feb. 17-18 has been designated as a free fishing weekend, when the requirement for a fishing license is waived.

Beginning ice anglers are encouraged to download the Ice Fishing Chapter of DEC’s new I FISH NY Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing for information on how to get started ice fishing.

Additional information, including a list of waters open to ice fishing, can found on the DEC ice fishing website and the Public Lakes and Ponds map.

Bait fish may be used in most, but not all waters, open

The DEC reminds ice fishermen to take safety precautions before venturing out onto the ice. Anglers are also reminded to get a valid fishing license before ice fishing. Licenses are good for an entire year. to ice fishing. Visit the DEC website for a list of special regulations by county to find out where bait fish can and cannot be used, and for other regulations that apply to baitfish atdec.ny.gov/outdoor/71546.html.

Anglers are reminded follow bait fish regulations to prevent the spread of harmful fish diseases and invasive species (see special regulations by county): • Use only certified disease-free bait fish purchased at a local tackle store, or use only personally collected bait fish for use in the same water body in which they were caught; • Do not reuse baitfish in another waterbody if you have replaced the water they were purchased in; • Dump unused baitfish and water in an appropriate location on dry land.

Anglers are reminded to make sure that they have a valid fishing license before heading out on the ice. Fishing licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. ■

DEC to host three weekends of Santanoni winter open houses Series marks rare opportunity to see inside of historic camp buildings during winter months

NEWCOMB | Three Winter Weekend events will be held for the fifth consecutive year at Camp Santanoni in the Adirondacks.

The events will take place during President’s Day holiday weekend, Feb. 17 to 19, and the weekend of March 10 and 11.

Cross-country skiers and snowshoers will have access to the historic camp properties located in the town of Newcomb in Essex County to rest, tour the buildings and view interpretative displays.

“As in past years, visitors will be able to enjoy winter outdoor recreation with family and friends while immersed in the beautiful wilderness setting and the rich cultural heritage of the Adirondacks,” New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “These weekends are part of Governor Cuomo and DEC’s ongoing efforts to work with local communities to increase tourism and economic activity by showcasing this wondrous part of New York state.”

Cross-country skiers and snowshoers will be able to visit both the Gate Lodge and Main Lodge of Camp Santanoni, view displays about the great camp and take interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) staff.

The wood stove-heated Artist’s Studio, a log and stone building near the main lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, will be open as a warming hut. Bring your own cup to enjoy free coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The Adirondack Interpretive Center will provide snowshoes at the Gate Lodge for any visitors without their own.

Proudly Serving Subaru Customers for

COLLABORATIVE EFFORT

The three Winter Weekend events are being hosted by DEC, AARCH, the town of Newcomb and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s (ESF) Adirondack Interpretive Center.

The Winter Weekend events continue to grow in popularity each year, with more than 400 people attending last year.

A 9.8-mile round trip cross-country ski or snowshoe excursion traverses from Camp Santanoni’s Gate Lodge complex to the remote lakeside main lodge complex. The trip provides moderate physical activity and a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

While people may visit Camp Santanoni 365 days a year, the buildings are not typically open to the public during the winter months. Additional open house weekends may be considered based on the popularity and success of these three weekend events.

“We are delighted to be part of these winter open house weekends again and look forward to welcoming skiers and snowshoers at this very special historic site during a very beautiful and peaceful time of year,” said Steven Engelhart, Executive Director of AARCH. “This will be the sixth year we have offered these opportunities to visit Santanoni and, last year, over eight days, more than 300 people made the ten-mile round-trip outing into the Main Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed providing a place to warm up and interpreting the camp’s rich history and architecture to them.”

Construction of Camp Santanoni began in 1892 by Robert and Anna Pruyn and eventually consisted of more than four dozen buildings on 12,900 acres including a working farm, the Gate Lodge complex, and a huge rustic Main Lodge and other buildings situated on Newcomb Lake.

Camp Santanoni was in private ownership until 1972. Over the last several decades of state ownership, the camp has gradually been restored through a partnership between DEC, AARCH and the town of Newcomb. Santanoni is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. Camp Santanoni is considered by many to be the classic Adirondack Great Camp. ■
