I went to Tamarack Lake today. There was about 1" of ice on the south end. The lake is compleatly iced over but the next 3 days and we'll lose that.
The forcast for mid January looks real good. We should be fishing Tamarack or Sugar Lake by then.

yaaaaay that is my first stop on the crawford musky tour...

Nice atleast we can get on the hard water!!!

1/13/12 Tamarack Lake ice report.....1:45 p.m.

Cochranton end had open water yesterday around concrete tower and some places off Springs Road.

Also the boat launch on other side (Meadville end) had open water.

I checked Cochranton end 3 inches of ice...used my 6 foot spud bar to bust through, some darker spots showed along the shore line that had been open water yesterday skimmed over today.

There's very little snow on the ice....lake drawn down about 3 feet.

I would be very careful and check the ice using your spud bar if you plan to go out before Monday.

BE SAFE....NOT SORRY

Crazy cochranton local yocals.... ;D
