The New York State Ice Pro-Am Series ice-fishing tournament scheduled for Friday through Sunday on Chautauqua Lake has been canceled.

Series officials said they talked with Chautauqua County tourism, visitors bureau and law enforcement officials and unanimously decided to cancel the event because of ice conditions deemed unsafe.

The statement from the NYS Ice Pro-Am Series: “We need a solid 4 (inches) of safe ice across the entire waterway we are fishing, which is not found on Chautauqua Lake at this point. There are fishable areas with up to 6 (inches) of ice, but it would be impossible for us to safely outline each area for our anglers. The current temperature forecast is also not conducive to enough ice building, and will likely just maintain the current ice in place.”

Registered teams were to be contacted about their options.
