Stopped by Greenbriar State Park this morning. Entire lake is ice covered, but only has two inches of black ice starting. With the weather forecast I don't think we will be fishing here any time soon. Darn.....

Any update on greenbrier after the cold?

crappie assain · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 06:07 PM »

Yeah, we need updates! Might just have drive over there. It's a hr and a half drive for me. The weather looks great

Haven't checked it since Saturday but gotta believe one can walk on water at Greenbriar tomorrow. Don't know about this weekend though with the weather forecast. Shame I have to work tomorrow. Nothing like first ice crappie there...

Hockeydefense13 · « **Reply #5 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 09:15 PM »

Would be nice to go there, you know, only 2.5 hours closer than DCL

Thanks a mil for the posts. Habeeb and Blairs Valley may also be getting close. BTW, a friendly reminder---Maryland fishing licenses expire on Dec 31st

Thanks for the info spur, I need to get my Md license. I just realized that last night when I pulled it out and it. Prob will be going up there tomorrow for sure, if the wind will stop blowing. Takes the fun out of it, ya know.

Hey Spur. Glad to see you are still around. Hope to see you on the hard water this year. I printed out my 2014 license on the first anxiously awaiting first ice!

What species are found at Greenbriar? I'm in Baltimore, would love to find some hardwater closer to home. Any other tips would be appreciated.

Trout,bass,crappie,and sunfish.Went crappie fishing there last Sept. and caught about 30,but the biggest ones were only about 9".However the size of the crappie there changes from year to year.Some years they are up to 12".Probally be nice sized by the fall.Large bluegills in the lake.Best ice fishing bite for them just before and near dark.

Headed up to Greenbriar tomorrow in the am. If anyone wants to tag along pm me we can work something out. Need to be to work at 5 so probably fish till 2ish. I live in the Essex area. Thanks, Crappie

Good luck assassin. Be safe and post an ice condition report. I may be able to fish Friday, late morning.

I plan to try out the ice tomorrow. I got a tip-up for Christmas. Never used one before. Anyone know if they are regulated in MD?

The last time we ice fished Greenbriar the trout were hitting deep in front of the dam. I am thinking I will target bluegill and crappie. What part of the lake is good?

Hope to see some of you on the ice tomorrow!

hesseltine32 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 09, 2014, 12:04 PM »

Yes tip ups are legal in MD. Your allowed 5.

West by Virginia · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 09, 2014, 12:46 PM »

Thanks Hesseltine! I will report conditions and results tomorrow night.

crappie assain · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 09, 2014, 12:58 PM »

Fishing Greenbriar. Ice is 6 to 7"where I'm fishing. Was one other guy out here.

Hockeydefense13 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 09, 2014, 02:24 PM »

Ridgehunter2002 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 10, 2014, 08:04 PM »

Hockeydefense13 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 10, 2014, 11:58 PM »

some ice held up well today, although a guy went in fr a cold dip in some sketchy ice. be careful good ice is there but some sketchy parts, prob more sketchy now, bee safe. crappie assain had to pull a guy out

West by Virginia · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 12:12 AM »

Fished a few hours this afternoon. Thank you REB9 for the tips, and help. I know what I want for my birthday! (fishfinder)
The sunfish were stubborn and small, but still really fun to pull them up, and see them on the fishfinder.
Ice was good in front of the beech - about 5 inches. I had no idea somebody went for a dip. That is scary.
I might swing by in the morning. By afternoon I think it will be mushy.

Hockeydefense13 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 12, 2014, 11:53 PM »

I'm sure the ice is all but gone now?

hesseltine32 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 07:17 AM »

All the drainage ponds for parking lots in Frederick are all still locked up it was 26 this morning. No clue if it's still safe but freezing nights the rest of the week.

crappie assain · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 11:34 AM »

I think it made it through the wknd. If any one has any updates let me please. Thanks, Crappie.

REB9 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 13, 2014, 08:15 PM »

I fished her Saturday until the monsoons drove me to drier climate. Five inches of ice. With 55 degrees today and sun, along with the rain, I'd say she isn't very safe.

Heading to Florida this weekend, so hoping for colder weather and safe ice in about 10 days
