Free Ice Fishing Weekend: President’s Day weekend (February 13-14, 2016) will be a free ice fishing weekend to encourage more New Yorkers to try Ice fishing while many are on winter recess. Assuming sufficient ice to support access this year, residents and visitors age 16 and older will be able to fish the fresh or marine waters of New York State without a license, providing a great opportunity for people to learn about this popular sport.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
From your friends at the KLC.
The KLC is proud of its accomplishments over the past year thanks to the Board and many member volunteers. 2016 looks to be another year of challenges and hopefully successes as the KLC makes an effort to meet the goal of being good stewards of Kinderhook Lake.
Now that the lake level is down and the leaves are off the trees, here is a quick reminder to shoreline property owners and residents. Please do NOT rake your leaves into the lake or burn them in the lake bed. Doing so creates a huge source of nutrients to feed nuisance and invasive weed growth. Additionally, if you’re in an area where the drawdown leaves the lake bed exposed in front of your property, raking and removing the leaves from the lake bed would be helpful. These is a very simple, no-cost, preventative measures to help reduce the spread of nuisance and invasive weeds in our beautiful lake. Thanks for your support.

Just a reminder that around October 15th the KLC will open the sluice gate at the dam and drop the level of the lake about 5-feet. The purpose of this drawdown is to protect shoreline areas and docks from damage during snow and ice thaw over the winter. In addition, the drawdown permits time for shore-line maintenance and inhibits shore-line weed growth.
