I am not crazy enough to ice fish, but I will share my ice report.

I was at Keystone State Park (not the power dam) for a dog walk yesterday.  Ice covered from the causeway road to somewhere around the beach.  I have no idea how thick it was.  Everything from the beech to the dam was wide open.  

Thank-you gentlemen for taking the time and posting a report, I'm locked and loaded waiting anxiously to get on the ice.  Gonna give it a shot and take it a step at a time bright and early tomorrow afternoon.

I'm headed to misery bay at lunch to check to ice I'll have update tomorrow morning

Fished M.C. area lake Arthur a few big crappie(8),and all you want gills,if you want you can pick through them 7-7.5" would be the big ones. Going tomorrow again. On the crappie hunt. Crappie are really nice.

Day two........  
 
In route,  film at 11:00.    umm...... maybe sooner depending upon fish bite or, frost bite.  Stay tuned!

Big Tuna
Fished Muddy Creek, just killed the gills,only trouble there not real good fish.Picked through a ton of fish,kept 20 7-8" fish. Decided to keep a few for fish chowder. Caught perch,and crappie also, perch 5-7 " several crappie that all looked the same 8" fish. They hit anything,with bait or clean plastic. I've had enough fun there,P.I. has ice may spend the weekend in Misery bay.

misery bay was awful today few!!!!!!!! fish caught ice 3.5 to 4 no better than that

Not much to report about the south end of Pymie, ice remains about the same thickness around the Marina at Jamestown.  Additional snow last night to help blanket the ice.  Saw no one else fishing but did see, one individual across the lake taking a look see and I spoke to a member of the construction crew who says the ice is about 2 1/2 " thick at the spillway.  Worker also said he was fishing the river below the outlet where he saw a lot of dead or dying shad.
 
I'm trying to introduce a friend to ice fishing and unfortunately, the ice just isn't cooperating to allow two people fishing in close proximity to each other.  We did fish from the Marina docks until 5:30 pm where we enjoyed some chyts and giggles as only two, old, retired gear jammers could.
 
Gonna get right back to it again tomorrow however we will be, I think,  checking the area around Tuttle Point.
 
 
 
Update: Pymie construction;  Guide wall along dam highway near completion of stone and re-pointing work.  Cofferdam to be constructed around the spillway allowing for stone and re-pointing work to begin shortly.  Lake water will be diverted to the overflow spillway until work at the spill house is completed. 
 
Your friend and mine,
 
BTDT.
 
PS. If appears I didn't mention catching fish it's because........ we didn't.   Stupid fish!

I'd have to say 2 to 3" of light fluffy stuff Sparrow.  The docks certainly had that much new stuff since last night.  Another note, I didn't hear the noise, saying the ice was building, as I hoped I would.

Yep Yep nothing like hearing the ice sing and feel the dance.  Love the warmer days followed by sub zero temperatures and hear the  cracking way off in the distance then feel the shiver as the ice expands and passes, under your feet.
 
Unfortunately it ain't happening yet and with the forecast I'm seeing for my little piece of the Pennsylvania wilds, may not this year.

That's good news Crappie_Slayer, just thinking of hitting Tuttle today, if I can rid myself of the little aches and pain associated with my explorations conducted at Jamestown the past two days.  Plain and simple....... my azz hurts!!
 
By chance, was that you doing the tippy toeing on the ice across from the Jamestown launch around 4:00 yesterday afternoon?
 
Thanks kindly for the update, hope to see ya on the ice, before it melts this coming week.

Good luck, remember no spot burning, unless it's for my benefit and you know your secret will be safe with me.
 
Maybe see ya there, take care.

Went ice fishing at Lake Arthur today 1-22.  Muddy Creek finger has 8" of ice.  Caught 2 small bass.

Anyone wanna try to get out on tuesday?

No I didn't.. Might come up Friday. With my dad

We were the dummies sitting in the wind looking like we lost our best friend(lol)  Was that you who went back to the parking lot for a spud bar.  We spoke briefly and bid each other luck.  That dad-burn wind was getting wickedly cold at times.  No fishing for me Sat. but gonna hit it again Sun, Mon and Tue, if the ice holds.
