Title: Southern Luzerne county
Post by: pabassman on Jan 19, 2020, 04:03 PM: I drove around southern Luzerne county today. Ceasetown open. Moon lake looked about half frozen from the boat launch out. Silkworth open. Sylvan 95% open. A little at the launch and outlet areas. Susquehanna/Wayne county/Poconos might be the only areas safe next weekend.

Just a FYI, they are all in Northern Luzerne county, ceasetown is illegal to ice fish and Silkworth is private.

Silkworh capped overnight last night. I imagine moon did the same but I didn't check it. I live right between the two.

Post by: quickshake on Feb 01, 2020, 05:20 PM: On moon today at boat launch, it was iffy, 3 1/2 to 4 but yup could hear it cracking every other step. Didn’t get anything in 4 hours (8-12) 2 flags dropped after 10’ and a couple hits jiggin that I missed.

Post by: quickshake on Feb 01, 2020, 05:23 PM: Sylvan was 2 1/2 at best Wednesday afternoon. Haven’t been there since. I doubt it’s safe. I’m at Silkworth which is also not safe.

Sucks. For sure. Here in SEPA all the lakes were open water on Wed. Now they all have skim ice again. I can't even fish the open water. Now that sucks !
