Anyone have any current water temps up north ? Just wondering how far they gotta come before one or two cold nights would get us started.

I spent black Friday mowing grass, raking leaves, and yard work in general --- It felt like a spring day.

Deer season is upon us , and its not unusual to have it start out warm and rainy, but end in a few weeks cold and white ---- we will see !!

So based off previous years, with temps where they are, how many nights in the teens or 20s would it take to get things started ? I don't know the particular body you were on or its layout but I guess take your best shot.

Slammed monster crappies at Peace valley on nov 27th but this weather is a mess i cant wait to winterize the boat and get out on the ice i guess i have a long wait down here in southeast pa... i was at lake jean last year before x-mas but is doesn't look like that will happen this year so i guess i got a hell of a drive to walk on water early

Still have a couple weeks to go. If the Temps are still 40+ The water is still turning. Once it reaches 39* is when it stops turning and we'll start forming Ice on the surface. It's coming.

For the last few years I was able to fish the week between christmas and newyears and my bet this year will be the same in the poconos, pecks pond is one of the first to ice up.

Anyone know where water temps are at this point ?

Rebelfisher · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 05, 2011, 12:43 PM »

Here in luzerne co, skim ice can be seen on smaller ponds during colder early mornings, but these darn 40/50 degree days remove it fast. Id say most lakes here are ready...they're still liquid, all we need is a prolonged cold spell.

Any chance of ice on a public lake in the Poconos soon?

Deer season ends Saturday ---- 10,000 waxies coming on Wed(14th), and the guys are coming to my place Friday (16th) to divide them up -- After a chili cookoff and home brew tasting on Friday, we would love to go ice fishing somewhere in the state on the 17th ?

Last year we were fishing our local lakes the week before Christmas, but that ain't gonna happen this year even if we do get a cold snap :-(

--- and to answer your question ---- you sure are invited if you are going to be anywhere near Harrisburg that day !!

THE Spud · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 06, 2011, 12:06 PM »

I plan on being on Beechwood { Tioga } or Jean 12/17 if the forcast holds

flyboyroy · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 06, 2011, 07:41 PM »

I have always wanted to try Jean -- hey Spud-- if you hear anything please let me know. I think I could talk some of the guys into running up there.

As far as Beechwood is concerned -- I will be up in Bradford county this Saturday for the last day of Buck. If the ponds are freezing up there, then Beechwood should have similar conditions. I can let you know whats up when I get back on Sunday.

That doesn't prove much...theres pics up on here somewhere of me ice fishing the river in shorts when it was 9 below

this snow tonight should really help drop the lake temps down and then the cold snap is starting tomm

tackleshack · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 07, 2011, 01:26 PM »

Some snow today in Tioga County...looks like its finally starting to cool down. 10 day is starting to look promising.

THE Spud · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 07, 2011, 04:20 PM »

Keep us posted Don hoping to head up to your neck of the wood before christmas to fish Beechwood with my friend Chris Neal

tackleshack · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 07, 2011, 05:39 PM »

Will do. I just talked to Chris last night. Hopefully we have ice on Beechwood before Christmas! Weather just doesn't want to cooperate.

Hows it looking ?

Van_Cleaver · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 07:09 PM »

Looks like you should be seeing some soon if the wind lays down. Even though they raised the low for tonight (it was 19 for Pocono Pines a few hours before your post with the link) a couple nights in the teens should do some good!

topher7694 · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 10:16 PM »

We are starting to see a bit of skim.....I am watching the 7 day forecast and it looks promising......I'll keep you all posted !

ice4life · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 11:28 PM »

Hi, I am new to this site, came across it last week looking for Pocono lakes winter reports. This is a great site, thanks for all the postings!!!

Just had a question about Gouldsboro Lake if anyone can answer: What fish are in there? I fished it couple times last year and all i caught were some pickeral and bass in the winter on tip-ups.

Again thanks for all the great posts!

Van_Cleaver · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 09, 2011, 03:30 PM »

There is a whole section for reports and conditions. It also lists the types of fish that exist in each body of water. There is also an archived section where you can look up old reports and info. Welcome aboard!

sr73087 · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 11:30 AM »

that is sort of disappointing but reassuring that the water temps are obviously right there, atleast in the Poconos. It looks like temps are dropping throughout the day, hopefully this is the start of something.
