Valley anglers are reporting catching a wide variety of fish through the ice. (THIRST PRODUCTION PHOTO)

Hardwater anglers throughout the Mount Washington Valley breathed a sigh of relief this week. Mother Nature and Old Man Winter came in with some frigid weather and provided enough safe ice that the ice-fishing season could begin in earnest.

Plenty of social media posts showed anglers out on the ice prior to this week, in a surge to be the “first” to catch a fish on the ice, but the thickness of the ice was borderline at best. Not so now. Reports of ice thicknesses up to 7 inches have been reported in the region.
