In the SW portion of the western basin there is open water from Maumee Bay to Camp Perry and north to West Sister Island. There is still fishable ice west of South Bass Island, but any ice nearshore along the mainland should be considered potentially dangerous. With warmer weather in the forecast be aware that ice conditions can change rapidly. Before planning an ice fishing trip call bait stores or ice guides to check local conditions. Also pay attention to wind forecasts when venturing out on the main lake. Wind shifts can cause wide cracks to open in the ice and prevent crossing back over the crack when trying to return. |
