River ice on the way

[Red Childress]

With the very low outflow and arctic blast coming, river icing will be happening in Warren County this week. I hope it will not be one of those years when the Corps of Engineers has to keep the flow reduced to prevent ice jams from occurring down river. Might be a very long winter for the the crazy fishermen. :)

Tionesta outflow is coming down finally so that's the only place i have to drop a line. Going to try and get out for a couple hours today before the onslaught of bitter cold gets here. No big bait left but i have some good size for tipping some jigs and i'll run my raps.

One 30" musky between 3 of us. Pretty bad for 4 hrs of fishing. That wind and snow that kicked up was intense at 30 to 35 mph gusts.

I drove down to the river this morning and there were some "dedicated" ice anglers out there setting tip ups.

dose anyone know how thick the ice is on the river.

It had a splash of snow on it making it easy to see from above. I saw guys standing just a few feet apart about mid-way down the Refinery dredge and a couple other guys in the neck down area 100 yards below the torch where the little camping site is and has about a 24 foot depth only a few steps off the bank.


No idea how thick but is frozen about 1/2 way across.

I bet the Starbrick area is really locked up good.
