Uncle John’s Campground; filed 1/18: “During the last
week or so, Elk Creek has been blown out with high water

Lake Wilhelm
Vickie @ Fergie's; filed 1/16: “The ice is starting to form on Lake Wilhelm. Approximately
an inch right now is what I’m hearing. Also hear about 3 inches on Sugar Lake and Kahle
Lake. Not really safe for ice fishing yet. Thanks for postponing the Fishing Report; it was a
good move according to the chatter. I’ve heard positive comments that you put safety of
anglers ahead of putting out a Fishing Report on time. Always check the ice!”

Russ @ Lake Wilhelm Marina; filed 1/14: “This is Russ from Lake Wilhelm Marina. I am
out of the country until spring, but I did receive information from Marci to post the win-
ner of the 2015 Fishing Contest. Ten-year-old Kaleb of Washington, PA won the Under 15
category with a 27.25 inch 8 pound walleye. Sandy and Skip won the Over 16 category
with a 29” 7.5 pound walleye taken on a Hot-n-Tot. See you in the spring.” (See Photos)
