In what will feature some of the best conditions in recent years, more than 100 folks from all over are expected to be on the ice next weekend for the annual Schroon Fishing Derby. Plagued by a couple or recent years where conditions have been a little “iffy”, the winter of 2018-2019 has been a boon for all outdoor winter sports.

Tracey Hanchett, from the Fish and Game Club, told Schroon Laker she is expecting a big crowd this year. The lake has hosted dozens of sportsmen and women with their tip ups and shanties.

The conditions have meant an up tick in business for the he Schroon Lake Bait and Tackle store, in its new location closer to the lake on Main Street near the corer of Dock Street.
