Fishing Report from Garrett County

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location:

In the last two weeks we finally got enough cold weather to make safe ice to fish in a few areas. The fish aren�t overly-aggressive, however, enough were biting to take a good bag of perch home for dinner a few nights, including a beautiful 12.5� jumbo! The key was persistence� lots of fish were interested on the sonar, but most had to be convinced to bite using one technique or another or by switching presentations.

All in all, a great day out on the hardwater, which is a rarity this year!

Good luck to all of the ice-fisherman out there and be safe!

**Reminder to all of our ice anglers out there; don�t risk a disaster! On early/thin ice, remember your safety equipment, check the ice regularly on your way to your spot, and FISH WITH A FRIEND!
