For those of you who like fishing either the largemouth or trout at mantua, its got open water around the shoreline and the ice is broken up. Float tubes or small boats could get on now but I am betting that this next weeks weather will have it open by next weekend. I talked to a guy who was fishing off the bank today and he wasnt having any luck. Hopefully the largemouth got real fat last fall and are gorging themselves on all the little trout right now. Theres too much fishing and not enough time to do it!<br><br>
