Catching A Laker

While many an experienced hand may be hoping to pull a prize fish out of the lake this weekend, it may not offer the same thrill as their first ice fishing catch.

So if you are not on the lake today -- and wanna share the sheer joy of what it’s like to pull up a laker  -- then we hope you enjoy the above video taken last month here in Schroon by a proud dad capturing his son’s first catch.

Enjoy. Got photos of this weekend's big Derby? Email them to us at Schroonlaker@me.com

Frontier Town is a featured display this summer at the Schroon North Hudson Historical Society.
