FOREST COUNTY / WCO Erik P. Shellgren Tionesta Lake :
Ice fishing on Tionesta Lake is picking up. Anglers are catching crappie,
perch and bluegill. The best area to currently fish seems to be around the
main U.S. Army Corps of Engineers launch area. Ice thickness is about 10
inches however the lake is rising causing the shore line ice to break, use
caution. Tionesta Creek:
The water is open on Tionesta Creek below the dam which could produce some
walleye, pike and an occasional musky. Trout season is approaching and that means we will be busy in Forest County
stocking numerous trout streams. If you have some free time and would like
