Buddy and I were talking about the Ash this weekend and we both thought it was closed due to the amount of water still being released. Either way we had zero intentions to fish it anyways but we weren't able to find anything stating that it was open or closed.

Got it, yep. No fishing Ashtabula. Anyone know what the ice is like now though? Asking for a friend.

I don't see how they can close Ashtabula. I've fished it for 45 years and it's always had fluctuating water/ice conditions. Just got to use your head but fewer and fewer people have anything upstairs anymore so I suppose they feel the need to protect us from ourselves. Might as well shut every lake down if that's the case. Gonna be a nannie state if it keeps up.

FYI, three weeks ago there was open water from the bridge south past the bar and all the way across the lake to the old club access area. Likewise up at Sibley there was open water from the north access point to about 1/4 mile south of the bridge.

I haven't seen anything about them closing Lake Ashtabula. I've only seen Jamestown Reservoir and Pipestem

Any reports on ice conditions? Anyone know if the crossing is open to buy bait from?

Crossing has been open and has bait, but calling to check hours may not be a bad idea. Ice varies, there is a pressure ridge south of the crossing towards the creek that sounds like problem. South of Kuders had open water a week ago. A lot of areas had 10 inches last weekend, but not all of them.

They want to close access because people "people dont use their head"?

Lets care about consistency for a second and close down all highways because of a bad driver. Lets start prohibition on guns because of some nasty shooters. Lets also start a war on alchohol, fast food, or big dogs.

Or maybe just let us miserable peasants enjoy life at our own risk and let us ice fish.

Don’t know the thickness was working at the cabin but there were about twenty from the crossing to Katie Olson all walking out.
