Canadohta Lake

Jerry @ Timberland Bait; filed 1-28: We have 10 inches of ice on Canadohta Lake and people
are fishing like crazy. Crappies are suspended over brushpiles. I ran out of bait over the week-
end. Bull Dam (Easton) has been producing, too. Don’t forget our Ice Fishing Tournament at
th
Canadohta on February 9 .

Conneaut Lake

Editor’s note: Here were about ½ dozen shanties on the south end of Conneaut Lake on Satur-
day, 1/26, when I drove by.

ERIE COUNTY

Presque Isle Bay & Tributaries, Lake Pleasant, Eaton Reservoir
Dominic @ Lake Erie Bait & Tackle; filed 1/28: Perch fishing is spotty. Getting some off of Park-
ing Lot 1 and 2 at Head of Bay, getting some 9 to 11-inch perch in Marina Lake, crappies in Mis-
ery Bay, and pike in Horseshoe Pond. Ice is not safe as of today on City side of Bay – I heard one
guy went through.

Gary @ Poor Richards; filed 1/28: Creeks thawed with the rain and then jammed with ice and

froze up.

Becky @ Elk Creek Sports; filed 1/28: I have three things to say about fishing the tributaries –
cold, icy and unfishable. We need a major thaw to clear the ice jams. Really can’t complain
about weather – streams were fishable all fall and into January, freezing up only in last couple
weeks.

Kirk @ East End Angler, filed 1/27:
◼ The rain opened up the creeks for a few days and brought more steelhead in; but the
cold weather then froze things up quickly except for Sixteen Mile.
◼ The rain and high west winds gave us the sashay effect on the Bay, bringing high water
and breaking up the ice. The good news is this cold weather has the ice locked back up in
most places. Ice fishing on Horseshoe has been hit and miss, with some steelhead and
perch. Misery should be solid by now although a couple anglers went through on Thurs-

day. The Head of Bay should be locked up again with safe ice. Look in the shallows next
to weed beds for perch. By the time the Report goes out the whole western end of the
Bay should be good. I am hearing about perch being caught around the yacht club. They
are still bringing in the big lake ships to the port, so be careful around Dobbins.
