Next weekend should be good. I ice fish but haven’t been out yet. I drove by a popular spot yesterday and there were no signs of anyone being out.
I think the Catskills probably have lower temps than me in the Buffalo area so I’d think you’d be all set. Normally the DEC publishes stuff on how thick the ice is.
Chautauqua and Silver lake are good to go. A friend is going to one of the finger lakes this weekend but I’m not going.

My nephew has been pulling MONSTERS through the ice this winter. He just abandoned his gas auger for a high-end electric setup. This kid is insanely good at hooking fish.

Where is he fishing? I’m not looking for secret spots just good ice to hit myself.

Parts of WNY maybe, but not by me. We had a week and a half of above freezing temps and 48 hours of near 50-55F. Everything by me melted. Maybe some in the southern tier but I heard Chautauqua lake is not safe either.
