4 Wheelers - Snowmobiles - Ice Boats … There have been a number of calls & news stories concerning the use of these methods of transportation on the Presque Isle Bay Ice. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission does not regulate these unless they are on PFBC Owned or Controlled Property. It is strongly suggested that operators & passengers of these wear a Personal Floatation Device while operating on ice covered bodies of water… it is not a legal requirement of our agency. The only time we would become involved with their operation is if they would interfere with legal fishing activities i.e.: running over rods, tip ups, etc… and then probably only if it was done in a negligent or willful manner depending on the circumstances. Presque Isle Park, City of Erie Police, Erie Parks Dept., Erie Port Authority, or Millcreek Township may have restrictions on their use on specific properties or boat launches adjacent to the water's edge but the PFBC does not as we have no owned or controlled property there. Fishing Reports: Misery Bay - Slab Bluegills being taken through the ice Fairview Gravel Pit & Lake Pleasant ... are both scheduled to be stocked in Elk Valley Sportsmen Club Reverse Raffle - Being held on February 10th. Wear a Life Jacket while Ice Fishing... It will keep you warm & possibly save Wco John W. Bowser |
