Van Tassel Timberland Bait’s ice-fishing tournament on Canadohta Lake has been delayed until Feb. 23.

Jerry Van Tassel this morning said the snow cover on the lake forced him to move the tournament back two weeks from its scheduled date of Feb. 9. The tournament that had been scheduled to take place Feb. 23 on Conneaut Lake has been canceled.

To participate, get tickets at Timberland Bait Shop by the morning of Feb. 23. The shop will be open for bait and tackle purchased the Thursday and Friday before the and the morning of the tournament.

The tournament is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. and run through 4 p.m. Prizes will be awarded starting at 4:30.

Categories are musky, northern pike, walleye, crappie and perch.

For information, call (814) 694-3474 or (814) 882-8369.

Skip Hughes of Mile Creek Custom Rods has built an 8-weight fly road that’s being auctioned to benefit the Erie Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Inc. chapter.

The high bid as of today is $325. Help drive it a bit higher and you’ll give Hughes, the chapter founder, and the other project volunteers resources to help them assist disabled veterans and active service personnel. Hughes guarantees that 100 percent of the proceeds will go into the program to help fund outings and pay for fly-tying materials.

Take a few minutes and let Bill Nacopolous from BAC Bait & Tackle put you onto bass, perch and panfish in Presque Isle Bay.
