Run, Do Not Walk to Sticks & Stones for Rich Ortiz

As an Aussie, who finds Schroon Lake firmly planted in his DNA, I can brag about the number of world class performers I have rocked out to in my life -- in various continents.

So when Steve Holmes told me about the upcoming gigs of Rich Ortiz -- this week (on Sunday at 6pm!) and in January --  I was gobsmacked.

Ladies and gents, run, do not walk, to this special treat Sticks and Stones will showcase for you this Thanksgiving weekend. This talented lad has performed all over the country, especially in the Adirondacks. Rich does it all: guitar, harmonica, and peddle bass -- with his feet. BAZINGA!!!

Have a listen for yourself, right here. Seriously, to have this talent here. We are truly blessed to have such a talented artist right here.

What’s In Schroon Lake?

What’s In Schroon Lake? The following will surprise you! 

Our buddies at the East Shore Schroon Lake Association have pointed us in the direction of a just released, new report on what the Schroon Lake Fisheries Surveys and Management Team have been up to.

 A HUGE HAT TIP to Jim Pinheiro, from the DEC, who studied the diverse fish species which call Schroon and its tributaries home.

They include coldwater, coolwater and warmwater species.  Check out this amazing 13 page report, about stocking policies, angling regulations and future management, including increasing the catch size limit, by clicking, here.

Happy Thanksgiving From The East Shore Schroon Lake Association

We are passing on a message from our good friends at the East Shore Schroon Lake Association.
