With the deep freeze, rapid thaw and re-
freeze of the past week, fishing success is a
bit on the skinny side. Many people are just
trying to get through the problems brought
on by freeze-thaw cycles, with fishing being
furthest from their minds right now. French
Creek, Allegheny River and steelhead streams
are blown out and ice-up – at the same time!
With a few exceptions, the ice over on area
lakes is sketchy at best. The ice cover and ice
bite on several area lakes was looking good
until those couple 60 degree days with rain.
Forecast is for very cold followed by melting
temperatures – in other words, one big mess.
Welcome to winter in NW PA. We have area
reports, mainly from before the big thaw, but
a few from the past couple days as anglers
venture back on the ice. Just keep in mind
Josh Myers with one of the most sought- that given the continuing freeze-thaw cycles,
after fish during the winter ice season. no ice is uniformly safe.
