Thanks for all the replies.
I was up in Feb of 15. Coldest Feb in PA history, fished almost every day. Loved it!
Last year I had other commitments and couldn't make it up. But reading this site and watching the weather I don't think I missed much.
This year, phtttt!
I wonder, could I trade some tip ups, ice rods and an auger for a stamp collection and some opera tickets???
