I am headed out to Raystown Lake on Thursday (4/10/14) and staying until Sunday. Probably going to fish the upper part of the lake due to the water temperature. I am betting that if there are any ice chunks left, the are all closer to the end of the lake close to the d**n. What a crazy winter! We usually make 2 trips out there a year (spring/fall) and we usually go close to Easter and I have never seen ice on the lake at that time.
Dink, I usually dont start fishing the rivers around here until closer to May. If I want to do some fishing before then, I'll go up around Clarion or out on the Juniata or the Susky. I don't dare go out the weekend of the First Day of Trout around here (or anywhere for that matter). Just a bunch of clowns throwing cottoncandy powerbait all weekend. But I haven't been out at all this year, except to teach my 2 year old son how to cast a couple weeks ago at the Canonsburg Dam. Thursday cannot come soon enough.
