Since there seems to be some confusion here about when a LGPC park permit is needed I contacted the LGPC themselves for an answer. The permit is year round and IS REQUIRED when ever you are on the lake no matter what time of year it is.  Thank you to LT. Joe Johns for the response.  Here is what I received.

Good Morning Dan,

 The Lake George User Fee Permit is required whenever a boat is on the lake. The annual passes run from April 1 to March 31st. The boat inspection stations are open through the boating season which is May1st through October 31st. During this time, a vessel must be sealed before entering the water. Prior to that, NYS Law requires each owner to ensure that their vessel is cleaned, drained and dry on his own. User Fee Permits are currently available only at the LGPC office. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. 


Best Regards,

Joe Johns

Thanks for sharing UN!!

Went yesterday with limited success,  no salmon though. Skim ice had formed in some areas making a mess of my lines when we unknowingly trolled into it. Surface temp in most areas 34 degrees.

well made it out last friday. trolled 730-7p. broke one off on leadcore and landed one on the rigger in 40' FOW 30' down out in front of Indian brook on a green and white spoon. tried everything i had. trolled sticks, spoons, off the planer board. tried leadcore and down riggers also flat lining in the prop wash and jigging. was tough fishing but an amazing day to be out there though! Was my first time targeting lakers so im sure i just dont know where to find them. as far as wash station and stickers that was interesting, wash station was closed and fish307 doesn't start selling lake stickers until may... ended up buying the lake sticker online. didn't know you could do that or would of done it the night before.

Bump. Anyone know the water temp lately?

[fishmonger]

Someone checks it from Warner Bay occasionally and posts it online. 2 days ago it was 50 degrees. If you google "Lake George water temp" it comes right up. Last week I was was perch fishing the bays and the fish finder said it was 49.5-at the surface anyway. Looks like it hasn't changed much

[LooseEye90]

Anyone know what time inspectors at MDB have been arriving recently?
