Lake George Angelausflüge

The ice fishing season on Lake George is in full swing. Lake Trout and Yellow Perch will be your main targets, but Salmon have been known to bite at times as well. Just remember to bundle up!

In February, the ice is at its thickest. Pair up with an ice fishing guide and they'll bring out the heated shanties, drills, and specialized rods. Before long, you'll have some Lake Trout on the end of your line.

While there may be ice in the beginning of the month, you can expect it to start melting as March rolls on. Following ice out, the fish will be hungry and the conditions favorable no matter what you want to target.

April marks the beginning of the open water season on Lake George. With the waters still cold, you can expect Lake Trout to put up a fantastic fight when hooked. Atlantic Salmon will also be biting.

The Lake Trout and Salmon fishing is as good as ever in May. Many fishing guides will take you after Trout first, as they're the more consistent catch. However, Salmon fishing has been improving in recent years, too.

With the waters warming up, you can expect the Lake Trout to move deeper, closer to the lake’s bottom where it's cold. But more importantly, midway through the month, the Bass season on Lake George opens.

The warmer the waters are, the less of a fight Lake Trout put up. They'll still bite, mind you, but the tussle isn't as intense as usual. Bass, however, will be as eager to scrap as ever.

Much like July, August is a warm month on Lake George. Trout will be lurking deep, with Bass also leaving the shallows during the light of the day. Still, the action is as present as ever and your guide will know where to find the fish.

As the seasons start turning and the temperatures begin to drop once again, Lake Trout come alive. They're joined by Salmon, who'll put up an acrobatic fight if you manage to hook into them.

The cold, oxygenated waters are what Lake Trout like best. You can expect them to put up a thrilling battle when hooked, and you can look forward to good numbers, too. Meanwhile, Bass will be lurking shallows.

This is the last month you'll get to keep any Bass you reel in on Lake George, as the season closes at the end of November. Use the opportunity to have one final go at these fish, or do some trolling for Trout.

At the beginning of the month, the waters may still be fishable from a boat. Towards the latter half, however, you can expect ice to start forming. If the weather serves you, you'll be able to get out there and ice fish before New Year's.
