 Boy the PA. fish commission could have a field day handing out fines on Connie Crick in Crawford county 
 
All anglers fishing in the waters of Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay, and their tributaries including waters that flow into those tributaries are required to possess a valid Lake Erie permit or Combination Trout Lake Erie permit. The main tributaries where a permit is required are: Cascade Creek, Conneaut Creek, Crooked Creek, Eightmile Creek, Elk Creek, Fourmile Creek, Mill Creek, Raccoon Creek, Sevenmile Creek, Sixmile Creek, Sixteenmile Creek, Turkey Creek, Twelvemile Creek, Twentymile Creek, and Walnut Creek. A permit is also required for all of those waters that flow into these main tributaries. Anglers fishing the East and West Basin ponds (Waterworks Ponds, Presque Isle State Park) are not required to possess a Lake Erie Permit. Anglers fishing inland ponds, lakes, and reservoirs in Erie County are not required to possess a Lake Erie Permit. 
 
 Wouldn't even be able to set a minnie trap in any feeder streams or tiny trickles that flow into the streams posted above without a permit. Gettin' border by the min.

Chris - 
I have some work in Clarion tomorrow.  If it is still light out after I am done, I might swing by and toss some swimbaits with you.  I really don't know if I will get out in time though.  Pretty much there until I am done.  

 Did u get the PM? I don't know if I even did it correctly.

 The wind hasn't showed up yet and the rain only lasted a few hours. Didn't hear the water rescue vehicles go past last night so that was good. 
 
 The lure company threw in 4 more pallets yesterday and 22,000 more spoons today at no extra cost. I can't catch a break!! 

 Yeah he does stuff but no type of online store. He goes live once in awhile when he wants to unload a little bit of crap. He just sent me a quote on getting a building put up. Fish USA is a tackle business and don't want to interfere with them or get banned.
 
 He is outside now making 2,000 drop shots or something for a dude. I told him he is nuts when he has literally many tons of stuff like that already professionally made and ready to go. His answer was "$2,000 is $2,000"  smh
 
 Might go hit the lake in a hour or so if the wind don't pick up to bad.

Does anyone know if the ice is gone at Lake Arthur?

Lake is half covered. Definitely some open water. You may need to drive spot to spot to find the open areas. A lot of “icebergs” floating around, so areas can open/close.

I launched the boat at the Tarentum launch today, I caught a few dinks near the dam.

Arthur was at least 2' below normal.  Anyone know if they raised it any?
  

They’re still releasing water out of the dam at the same rate they have been since mid December.

Flows coming out of the dam at Arthur aren't for downstream public water supplies or flood control.  It's all about maintenance and protection from ice for docks and marinas and recreation.  They'll prob dial back the flows here in the next couple weeks with the mild and drier than normal winter.  
 
 

I hiked 20 mile from the mouth to I-90 on Saturday, I saw 3 fish total....still had fun. 

Took it out yesterday to blow the dust off. Didn't catch much, water was 41°. I knew we were in for a slow day with only 2 trailers at 528 launch.

Nope
