Ice fishing near Lancaster or Hershey, PA?

[MDBASS]

I will be in Lancaster or Hershey, PA area this weekend and I'd like to know where I can icefish. Also any word on ice conditions?

Don't count on doing any ice fishing anywhere near there! You're going to have to drive to Northern PA for any safe ice!

no shot. 3 hours north is your best bet. I've heard the yellow perch are running in maryland if you can find them. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&ll=38.947445017009116%2C-76.37420700000001&spn=1.704693%2C2.219238&=9&mid=1TPXJQjRC_pv2CrNBnWzGputBPDw&z=9

Depends when. Calling for a half inch of rain tonight into tomorrow. Edges will be shot, and already honey combed ice will be even worse. Real cold spell following the rain, though. By sunday everything might be locked back up. Tobyhanna is probably the furthest south that might be safe. Keep an eye on the conditions/reports page
