Anglers are advised to exercise caution when ice fishing, especially since heavy snowfall can slow ice production and hide weak spots. Limited trout stockings by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will continue through next month. For a schedule as well as ice fishing and safety advice, visit www.fishandboat.com.
