Summit County hard water

[Lipnrip]

So I drive along rockport and echo everyday. Rockport is about half frozen from the dam towards the inlet. Echo is solid and has crystal glass ice that is at least 3 inches thick and supported my 350 lb self along with 4 other fishermen this sunny Friday 10 degree morning. Plan on fishing this weekend at echo to test my new flasher. If anyone is planning a trip would be good to see some fellow bft anglers.

Sorry for the late update went out Sunday and slayed the perch I believe the clear ice water and sun on Saturday had the fish picky. Was fishing 48 feet of water on the bottom also managed a decent brown. Tear drop jigs with a wax worm and a rattle spoon tipped with perch eyes.
