The Landing Net by Darl Black

I am thoroughly tired of winter’s cold, snow and ice! I am ready for the
Spring Thaw and open-water fishing! Ice cover on lakes is not as thick as
last year so hopefully lakes will be ice free by the end of March. I’ve got my
fingers crossed that I’ll be on the Allegheny River by St. Patrick’s Day, if not
before! Speaking of ice out, we are having a contest to guess the length of
the first smallmouth bass and first crappie that I catch in open water. Com-
plete details can be found on Page 8 of this issue of the NW PA Fishing Re-
port. All guesses must be made through the “Email Us” button on the
www.BlackwolfeCommunications.website. Anyone can enter and winning
prize packets are certainly worth the little effort involved to visit the web-
site.
