I'm sure with the warm temperatures and all this rain there's No ice left at least not safe ice anyway

According to the webcam looks like she is still locked up, at least by Burtis bay. Hopefully we don't get as much snow as they are calling for

The snow stopped a few minutes ago and the lake looks like the puddles have froze,hopefully the wind will keep snow off if we don't get too much!Keep fingers and toes crossed!

Hope she locks up. Wind is roaring now at least in Erie county. Was at my cabin 1/9 and my pond looked like open water, but was solid clear ice I couldn`t break near shore, and I tried, needed a 5 gallon bucket of water. It`s 15 mile east of Chautauqua. Today I stepped on shore ice, and right through 1/10. Still locked up though.

Burtis bay web cam looks like a little open water. Hope all that dang lake effect dumps into the open water. they get all the snow they say on top of the ice there is now it might be over before it starts. Fingers crossed sure would like to be there at the end of the month.

Looks locked up on the camera I just wonder how the snow is down there

I advise you don't listen to the naysayers! Burtis Bay is locked up and has 5 inches of ice my brother in law was out there today along with many other locals

Gowandafisher · « **Reply #1747 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 08:21 PM »

Really? Hogans just reported its fully covered but super thin ice...

NY_labman · « **Reply #1748 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 08:26 PM »

It would be hard to believe that all that open water froze over in the last day considering the winds that we had today. Easy to believe that the ice on Burtis Bay hardened up. I wasn't by the lake today either. Be careful out there!

Has anyone checked on Mayville?

blizzardfisher · « **Reply #1750 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 11:06 PM »

I spoke to my brother in law again and he physically measured 5 inches where he was fishing other guys had reported three and a half to 4 and others said five at Burtis Bay. Was advised that Mayville and other areas still had a lot of open water though and it was not in their opinion safe yet

Huh. Good black ice or white?

If that's the case my lake in Amish country should be good to go this weekend

how much snow did Chautauqua get?

Grapeman9825 · « **Reply #1755 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 09:51 AM »

Does anyone know if the lake association did a late weed harvest on the south end this year??? I was told last year that September of 2014 they did a cut and removed the cover down there. I fished the south end twice last year and did very poorly. Fished the rest of the year on the middle a d north end.Hope there are weeds this year to hold fish!!

rando3369 · « **Reply #1756 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 10:11 AM »

That is a good question. Last year I fished Burtis a couple of times and Lakewood Bar once and didn't do well at all. There was hardly anyone fishing either area every time I checked them out. Talked to a couple people who fished those places and they said it was very tough to find them. I'm hoping it is better in the south this year - much closer for me to get to.

gonzo67 · « **Reply #1757 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 12:57 PM »

Any one getting any fish on Burris ?

blizzardfisher · « **Reply #1758 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 07:05 PM »

My brother in law was out for a couple hours as I mentioned earlier and he caught nothing I asked him if you brought up any weeds and he said no that he did not even see them. He did not bring any sonar so we could only guess that he was in about 6 feet or so of water. I ask them how much of the ice was clear and he said there was only a white crust on top that most of it was clear. No legitimate measurement was given in the conversation though

pvbehr920 · « **Reply #1759 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 09:07 PM »

No weeds = the same problem that I had on the 7th.

I'm trying to put together a fishing trip at the end of the month for a weekend, with the temps below freezing for the next week, how much of the lake will be ice in your opinion? is it worth a drive from Ohio?

Worth is relative and different for everybody...With all the goofy weather its extremely difficult to say...The easy answer is yeah the lake should be froze and safe for fishing...The difficult answer is who knows how much snow is going to dump on the lake making travelling on the ice extremely difficult even though its "safe"...If its safe yet extremely difficult to travel on the ice is it worth coming from Ohio for a bucket of 9.25" perch ? Meh guess it all depends right?

FISHN NIK · « **Reply #1769 on:** Jan 19, 2016, 08:44 AM »

I have 2 questions for anyone checking the ice,how much snow is on lake and is it lake locked up yet??? Thanks to all replies.
