ICE ICe Ice ice

Is there any good ice in Ohio, I have Monday & Tuesday off, then Friday- Sunday off.... I really don't want to drive 3 hours and fish off a dock, I can do that local.. any info on any lake would be greatly appreciated. I went through all the lake reports but with the diminished ice seasons the past 2 years, no one is reporting anything.. Thanks in advance

In the last few days I have been on at Mogadore, and Wingfoot and have heard of people on Punderson and a couple other places.

On Nimi too.   Heading there now.

I don't go on thin ice, but I'm gonna try to hit Nimi this weekend.

It's my home lake as I'm 5 min away.

I was on 4” at pine tree bay.  Not sure what the rain tonight and 44 degrees tomorrow will do to it, but by Thursday it looks like it’ll be frozen back up.   Checked a couple of other areas at PLX and it was junk around 2”.

I fished my local lake of GLSM, which used to be the hotbed for perch and crappie back in the 90's... 3-4 inches of ice, the bite was slow and I used a size 16" nymph fly I tied for all the fish I caught in 3hrs on the ice

How deep is Nimi at the campground?

I was just up there this morning. It’s only a couple of feet. It’s not worth fishing with the water level low like this. The south main side of the lake has much better fishing right now. I got some bluegills over 9 inches at Crappie’s between 12 and 13 inches this morning. All parked at the south main boat ramp and walked from there.

Ok thanks slab, was wondering where to go.  Can I ask how much ice?

[slabslayer]

3-4” where I went.  All west side.
