  Lake George Ice fishing Reports: .

  January 31st 2010. The Lake is capping over and a few days of this and all the deep water areas will be walkable. The bays and the the areas of the Million Dollar beach have 9" of solid ice. The fishing has been great one day and off the next. It should be a good ice year if this arctic air stays with us. Be careful on this newly formed ice and pressure ridges. I will keep you posted. Please email for ice conditions.
