Hello all, it's that time again.  Any of the lakes looking to shape up in the next 2 weeks?  Thanks!

Is pymatuning covered?

As of 30 mins ago (3pm or so) yes... Just froze overnight cause it was wide open yesterday when I checked it. Definitely nowhere near ready yet but it's getting close!

Sweet! Can't wait to get down there!

I'm going to check a few spots that stayed through the little warmup last week on either Sunday or Monday afternoon. I'm hoping that seeing it was already froze this last week of COLD temps thickened it up. Hopefully I'll have some good news by Monday night.

Now by the looks of things Friday is supposed to be 38 with rain then back down again so hopefully it don't come down to hard and ruin it again.

Thanks for the early reports!  Conneaut lake is freezing up in the bays, hopefully we get more than 2 weeks this year!

16 December - Ice ladders are being placed at the Rt. 846 and Hartford Road areas, Golden Run, the PGC Prop Area, and Chestnut Run. Remember that NO ice is completely safe, due to the variables in ice formation. Report missing or vandalized ladders ASAP at 724-646-1116. Also, please keep your pets leashed while walking in recreation areas...unleashed pets can chase wildlife onto thin ice and break through. Ice can be very hazardous - remember, "if in doubt, don't go out!"

Pymy is getting there, bout 2" the places I looked, but not ready yet. With the 6" of snow and slush on top I'm sure it's not helping build, but it should help hold what we have come Friday with the rain they're calling for. I'm going to check a few more places around the lake tomorrow after work and see if some of the protected coves are any better.

Anyone been on any smaller ponds recently?? If so, how was the ice???

I don't know but I'm off Thursday and want/need to get out fishing somewhere. So I'm hoping to find something good tomorrow after work. Anybody have anything with 3" or better? I don't care where, just within 1-1 1/2 hrs from Pymy?
