Sunday, Feb 01 2026
Anglers have been ice fishing in some spots on Otisco; however, it is recommended to keep away from the narrows or the dam until there is a good amount of ice. Dont forget to spud on your way out to your ice fishing spot. Look for tiger musky around Lader Point, Turtle Bay and along the causing using tip ups or jigs with minnows. Try jigging for perch and crappie on the south end using spikes.
