Ice fishing update

  Bobby Joe Frost of Alden continued to find some decent ice in the Northern Zone of New York. Black Lake had four good inches of black ice and an inch or two of gray ice. Crappie action was fair. You had to bounce around looking for active schools and he lost a huge pike while crappie fishing with Swedish Pimples tipped with a wax worm. Lake of the Isles had 70-plus huts on five solid inches of ice. Perch was the focus, but you had to weed through the small ones to find a keeper. Chaumont is not yet ready. St. Lawrence is not ready.
