Ice fishing Pa / Lake Arthur

Can folks park in the church parking lot and walk onto the ice from there? <--- please disregard.  Found answer after searching.  Confirm that folks can park in the lot.  Thanks.

I haven't fished that part of the lake in a few years but we had some good days over there. Plenty of cribs and Christmas trees.

Haven't fished there in a few years but did catch a bunch of small crappies and one small walleye.  Last time I was there idiots left a ton of garbage on the ice.  Cans, propane bottle, bait cartons it was an absolute mess,garbage was absolutely everywhere.  I loaded up a few Walmart bags full of trash to take home.

I had some idiot there one time throw his new auger box and trash in the cab of my truck. I was like **censored** is this?

Same guys that troll on this cite then drive up from the south. Then dump trash and waste Neville in the parking lot

Hey where not all slobs.  You'd never know I was on the ice,same as the woods. I always leave it better than I found it. There's always some Yahoo's. Go fish L. Chautauqua in N.Y. if you want to see litter.

[clayboy]

Deff not all just some. Most love what we do and the beauty it has to offer others just use the land for the pleasure and then leave it for the next guy to clean. I love pa woods and water but not the love for the slobs or the commissions

Reports and conditions Lake arthur.

MC had 5" church 3" if that from the cliff. 

[Mknott]

Ouch. Thought it would be thicker by now with the cold weather.

You have to remember basically the stuff with 3" now was wide open on Wednesday.

[Buttonbuckslayer!]

I'm really surprised that Muddycreek only has 5".  It was supposedly 4" before 3 days of single digits and low teens.

The wind and snow have not helped. I'd imagine some of the snow will melt, and then firm up this week. But, there will still be some iffy stuff. Just not a good year for consistent ice.

[Fishsleeprepeat]

Thanks for the update. I'll probably hit MC with some creek chubs Thursday morning to see if I can't get some pike or bass.

Looking to get into some crappie tonight at muddy. Any area suggestiona would be great havent fished it in awhile !

[Fishsleeprepeat]

I fished 4 maples at night a few times last year and did ok. Lots of crappies, but most were very small. Almost all on minnows.

I'm not sure four maples has any good ice. Be careful wherever you might roam.

It's butt puckering ice.  Especially by yourself, and that was before all this snow.  A measured 2 3/4 ice give or take a tiny hair, and like said that was before the snow. 

[1MOFISH]

we need something like this in a bait shop it would generate interest,galidas used to do it
GOD BLESS
