Although The Knee Deep Club canceled their Lake Hopatcong ice fishing contest for February 10th, following the warm spell and rain, there was still plenty of fishable ice.

Most coves along with the State Park are covered with about 7 inches of ice. The main lake is just skimmed over with some open water so that is not safe enough to fish.
