With the word on the street being this winter is supposedly going to be rough...let's get news circulating: a bad day on the ice is better than a good day anywhere else!

bobby11vd, I'm out of the ice region, down in Stafford, VA but do an annual trip to Lake Champlain every February. Have all the equipment and would like to find places closer to home for some additional time on the hard water. Retired so weekdays are all available, can you fill me in on some locations to consider.

Douger. Depends on the weather.. Western Md has rocky gap state park and deep creek lake.
Haven't fished and western va lakes.
Go get em!

Well hoping to get one some hard water in md this is my first year here so it will be interesting to say the least.

Wow it's dead on here I hope it heats up some this winter. Or I'll have to keep poking around the NY thread

Douger I grew up about an hr away from lake chaplain. I'm not real familiar with the area either but if you are ever looking to go with someone send me a pm

Hess,
I have a feeling that most folks are too depressed by the warm weather to post much. Even during good ice, posts are light. I'll trade ya a trip on Deep Creek for a trip to Champlain, or something if the ice is bad once again this year. Let me know.
Good Luck.

I was talking with a guy from PA last week above Harrisburg and he said there was no ice yet. Very northern part of NY is just starting to get ice so I hope ice is coming. If I find any ice I will let you know. Looking for some people to go with since im new to maryland and dont Have any friends that ice fish yet I'm actually going on a trip to quintie for eyes this February.

This thread has been, should I say, unseasonably quiet; I'm getting anxious to come out "Northwest" and do a little hardwater fishing with some of you.

I think I'm going one day this weekend
-
I am going to check out Greenbriar (MD) and Sleepy Creek (WV) this weekend. I don't expect it will be thick enough, but you never know. If anyone has info, please post. I will post what I learn.

I'm going to take the drive up to deep creek this weekend let you know what I find

Been reports of fishin in the coves, good luck. I will be there next weekend. Hoping the ice holds for the mini warmup next week.
-
Sleepy Creek and Greenbriar have some open water and thin ice. Need some more cold nights! :-\

Fished Sunday afternoon from 12-6 for my first time on the MD hard side . Wanted to get there before daylight but when I got up that morning washer had broke and there was water all over the laundry room. Spent my morning fixing that. Had a slow afternoon but it was really windy had all I could do at times to not take a shanty ride.

Love that pic Hess. I wish I could get out this weekend but have family obligations. The following weekend will be my first time on the ice, weather and ice conditions permitting. I'll be going somewhere in MD or PA, not sure yet where. Maybe Deep Creek or make a drive further North. Please let's get some colder temps...
-
Thanks fatboy. Yeah I hope it turns cold again after this weekend. Don't think I'm going to venture out this weekend unless I hear the ice is still good on deep creek. Next weekend I am for sure might go back to NY to fish Oneida for walleye if builds more ice next week.
