The Landing Net by Darl Black

Weather has been up and down for ice fish-
ing this winter. Repeated freezing and thaw-
ing temperatures plus rain have left ice cover
a riddled pattern of “safe” and unsafe areas.
Still the hardcore ice anglers have persisted in
finding areas to fish. While these diehards are
looking for another good freeze, most anglers
I have talked to have had enough of this on

again/off again ice and are hoping for a warm
up to blow all the ice out so they can launch
boats. Based the late start to the fall run,
some Erie bait shops are predicting (or hop-
ing?) for a good spring run of steelhead once
the creeks are free of ice. All we can do is
wait to see what Mother Nature has in store.

In the meantime, check out the Conneaut
Lake Ice House Festival this weekend.
