Ice fishing derby in Shandelee

Posted

SHANDELEE, NY — This past weekend the owners of The Arnold House, Sims Foster and Kirsten Harlow Foster, and residents of Livingston Manor hosted friends and family on Shandelee Lake for their first annual ice fishing derby. It’s an event that the Fosters hope to turn into a recurring happening for local residents, part-time homeowners and out-of town-guests visiting the picturesque surrounding areas.

The scene was set with various giant circles of cleared snow, long paths of easy access, and ice-fishing gear available for those without their own. Everything needed to break the ice, set up camp, and catch fish down below was available for both beginners and experts.

The sun was shining and the winds were low on the ice as people gathered, offering proof that there are glorious days to be had in the Catskills, even during what has been a particularly cold and harsh winter.

A courtesy pop-up bar serving locally made liquors and hot chocolate was hosted by Prohibition Distillery. A fresh oyster buffet was donated by Empire Oyster, and free ATV rides were provided M & M Power Sports of Liberty, NY.
