I'm planning on taking my boys camping at Ricketts Glenn
over Presidents' Day weekend next month.

Has anybody gone ice fishing on Lake Jean?
How is it?

Thanks!

The ice is fine.

Thanks, SuperX2Nut!

I've never fished there at all.
My boys will be happy with just getting some action.
So bluegills and sunnies will fit the bill. Perch would be a bonus.

 

[SuperX2Nut]

You're more than likely to get perch rather than bluegills, lots of pickeral as well.

Perch and pickeral. Perfect!

Hope all is well up in the Adirondacks.

No way of knowing if the ice is going to be safe 3 weeks from now. Heck, they're talking about 50's and rain here in SE PA next week.

Worked hard and graduated early, I'm back home in PA for now.

If the temps stay decently cold for the next couple weeks, jean will be fine. It was well below zero on top of the mountain yesterday morning.

I'll check conditions before heading out on the ice.
Thanks for the caution about that, Double Lung 20.

My original question just had to do with ice fishing on Lake Jean in general, assuming conditions were safe. I should have been clearer.

We'll be camping there anyway, so if conditions aren't good we'll spend the time scouting.

SuperX2Nut, congratulations on your graduation!

Just curious what type of camping you will be doing, I'm hoping to do a little winter camping myself this season, possibly in a hot tent.

Hot tent camping with a Cabela's Alaknak 12x12 and a Sheepherder Alaskan stove.
