Cold weather is finally setting in across the county and we'll be ice fishing soon!  Spring gear is also showing up though, and now's your chance to save big on almost everything ice fishing! 

Stop in or order online at https://www.shoptackleshack.com/ice-fishing/

We will start posting ice conditions soon!  Weather this week should cap over some of the small lakes.

It is a winter wonderland here in Tioga County this morning!  Most of the smaller lakes had capped over or nearly capped over before the storm.  This heavy snow should weigh down the ice sheet, forcing water through and turning snow into a layer of white ice as it refreezes.  The ones that haven't frozen will be ready for the next round of cold weather. A little more snow and rain is expected mid week.  Ice losses should be minimal, and we should see the ice building through most of the rest of the month 🙂.  Get the gear ready!  It's about that time.  We will start posting ice conditions regularly later this week.

***1/19/2024 Tioga County Ice Update***
Snow continues to insulate the local lakes and has slowed the ice building despite colder temps in the area. Conditions were disappointing across the county and are unlikely to improve much over the next few days. Most of the areas are only at 2" with snow/slush or water mixed in.

Beechwood- A few people were fishing near the boat launch.  The edge is hard and measured 3.5-4" near the launch.  This thins to 2" heading diagonally across the lake.  There is a layer of snow/slush across the lake. We did not check other areas.

Hills Creek- The lake is capped end to end with a layer of slush/snow on top.  Both the Pines launch and the Beaver Huts launch only have 2-2.5" where we checked.  A layer of water/slush is mixed in too.
Hamilton- The lake is completely frozens and edges were solid at the boat launch.  However, here too, there is a layer of slush and water and only 2-2.5" of ice where we measured off of the launch.  A layer of snow/slush is covering most of the lake.

Nessmuk- Lastly, Nessmuk is completely frozen too, but ice is thin and junky at the launch.  We measured only 2-2.5" with a mix of black ice/slush ice, and a layer of slush/water on top.
Hammond Lake- We stopped up here, but the launches were closed.  The lake appears to be solid.  No update otherwise.

We are expecting a little snow today.  This will slow the ice building more and we do not expect much improvement in conditions.  With a warm up expected most of next week, we will update again next Friday to see how the lakes fair.  Anglers are fishing other parts of the state.  If you are able to get out.  Good luck and be safe out there.

It looks like the ice season is over here in Tioga County.  Tons of great deals are still available in store or online at www.shoptackleshack.co m/ice-fishing

New spring shipments are arriving every week.  Our Spring Kick Off Sales event will be March 15-17.  We are finalizing details still, but it'll be a fun weekend at Tackle Shack!  Saturday, March 16, Justin McDowell, owner of McDowell's Custom Lures, will be here from 10-2 talking about airbrushing baits and how to fish his popular minnies more effectively.

We'll be here on Ice Shanty for a while yet this season, but I do not expect conditions to improve enough for another ice report.  Thank you all for your continued support.  We really appreciate it!

Cold weather has moved back in, however the lakes all remain ice free in our area.  We may see a little skim over the next few days but we definitely won’t be on the ice again anytime soon.  Grab the long rods and enjoy some time on the open water this weekend!  Spring is on its way here in Tioga County
