Adirondack Traditions: Ice Fishing

3/9/2020

1 Comment

 
On March 7th and 8th, the Cure Porch on Wheels could be found at Lake Colby Beach outside the weigh station for the Colby Classic Fishing Derby. Ice fishing is an important tradition in the Adirondacks. This was the 36th annual fishing derby, and many of the fishermen attending had been to all 36!
Picture
Kayt Gochenaur, the Cure Porch on Wheels project coordinator, used the opportunity to interview the local fishermen about their traditions, the "hard-water" communities that form in winter, and the changes in the local fish populations. Inside the Porch we featured a mini-exhibit on the architecture of ice shanties.​
