We need some frigid weather in February. Heard the farmer's almanac calls for a cold February and March
Had a few people tell me this, but after this weeks temps and looking at the extended forecast its looking bleak. Still holding out and hoping we get a cold snap. Would like to make it out a few more times. By the way, met the local fish warden at eaton last time I was there, and he seemed like a hell of a nice guy. Quick check of the license, gave us some info on the lake and recent action, and on his way. I hear a lot of negative things about fish and game wardens, but have had few run ins myself. Was nice to have a pleasnt experience.

I will check it friday after work for ya so expect me to report back here sometime around 6-7pm friday evening. With the recent warm up and rains and no real "cold" temps at night , I wouldnt get your hopes up in coming but I will see if the ice held up at all for my Phat Arse  Ill have a look see if there is anyone out there and go for a walk out on the ice. If it holds me then you should be ok.

To Ice Junkie 76 And all others who want to fish the ice at Eaton Res. ITS NOT SAFE TO GO OUT ON As I pulled in the first thing I noticed was NO vehicles in the lot. The second thing I noticed when I walked down to the "WATERS EDGE" was no huts or people out on the ice. The next thing was to see how far off the shore it would hold. Sorry I wasnt going to try and get there. Looks splotchy and weak at best. Here is what I saw  Shore ice thin so I wouldnt go out if I were you  Sorry guys but Id wait till we have another cold spell to venture out here. But you can still come mup for some steelhead , the tribs are good for that right now.

did Eaton firm up/edges hold? thinking of making another nite-bite trip tomorrow if so... Edinboro just doesn't seem to give up the panfish like Eaton has.

The forecast this week is looking good for firming that ice back up a little. Down into the teens this weekend, so hopefully i'll be back out on the hard water. Last weekend looked a little too shaky for this guy.

Anybody going out on Eaton this weekend. Will the shore ice freeze back up with the cold temps this week? I'd like to fish one more time this year but i'm not looking to go swimming.

I'll be there Friday afternoon.... I'll try to post from the ice, if I get a good enuff signal. Hopefully someone will be there before me and give us an update on the edges. I plan on being there late, so I need those big crappie to move in, or even dial up an 'eye or three. Wishful thinking, I know...

Gonna get real cold starting tomorrow evening and through the weekend. I bet the ice will be locked up good by late friday night. Just hope we dont get dumped on by heavy snows , that could ruin the ice. Good luck .
I may take a walk around up there saturday after work to see if any of yinz are feeshin .....

East end angler. Jerry at Timberland has bait if you wanted to take rt 77/rt 8. I would recommend calling ahead if going to Timberland.
