Ice in Erie has exploded with the recent frigid temperatures and the Maple Motel has availability for your next ice fishing trip. The map is shared from a local Erie news source and anyone should use extreme caution with ice conditions. We are located in Erie, PA an we are seeing the first signs of ice fishing on our waters (Presque Isle Bay). More cold and subzero temperatures are coming making conditions even more favorable for ice fisherman.

With the lowest rates in town starting at $65 per night, we have large rooms with double beds and most rooms include kitchenettes.

Great news for Anglers. The word on the street is the 2X2 skin requirement for fish cleaning at non commercial stations has been eliminated. Here is the commentary from the meeting:

Law Enforcement (Commissioner Mahn) – The Law Enforcement Committee met twice since the July Commission meeting. The first meeting was held virtually on October 3, 2024. The Committee received one public comment regarding a requirement under Title 58 of the Pennsylvania Code, Chapter 63.15a - Officially-recognized fish cleaning stations – the comment opposed the current requirement to leave a 2-inch by 2-inch piece of skin on fish cleaned at noncommercial, officially-recognized fish cleaning stations. The Committee received information about staff proposed changes to Title 58 of the Pennsylvania Code, Chapter 63.15a - Officially-recognized fish cleaning stations – more specifically changes to the definitions of commercial and noncommercial cleaning stations.

Commentary:
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has the authority under 30
Pa.C.S. § 2102 to create rules and regulations pertaining to fish and fishing. Under 58
Pa. Code § 63.15a the Commission recognizes two types of fish cleaning stations. These
fish cleaning stations are either Commercial stations or Non-Commercial stations. In
addition to recognizing the different types of fish cleaning stations, this section also
highlights how fish are to be processed at Non-commercial fish cleaning stations.
After a review of the regulatory language for Commercial and Non-Commercial stations,
Commission staff determined a more accurate depiction of how stations operate, who is
responsible for stations, what stations offer to the public, and requirements for
Commercial fish cleaning stations should be highlighted.

After the Commission received comments from the public regarding the requirement to
leave a 2-inch by 2-inch piece of skin on processed fillets at noncommercial officially recognized fish cleaning stations, staff conducted a review that included internal
discussions, a meeting in Erie in September with interested stakeholders to hear and
discuss their feedback, and consideration at two Law Enforcement Committee meetings.
As a result of this process, staff determined that resource conservation goals could be
achieved by eliminating the 2-inch by 2-inch piece of skin requirement in favor of
requiring that fillets remain fully intact. Commission Staff propose that 58 Pa. Code §
63.15a be amended as follows: § 63.15a. Officially-recognized fish cleaning stations.

📢 Important Notice for Our Valued Guests

We list our Motel with Expedia in order to expand our reach to new guests. Expedia is a large company with a number of brands and affiliates. We’ve recently noticed some of these affiliates create web sites that appear to represent the Maple Motel and further when you call they act like you are talking to our motel. While these sites are tied to our booking engine and all bookings made through them are legitimate, they are not managed by our staff and are not directly affiliated with the Maple Motel and therefore may have different terms. We have raised this concern with Expedia.

Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
✅ Policy Differences: Third-party sites often create their own cancellation policies that differ from ours. For example, their “24-hour cancellation policy” might apply from the time of booking, while our policy allows cancellations up to 24 hours before the start of your stay.
✅ Higher Costs: Many of these sites require full payment at the time of booking and may charge more than the rates we offer when you book directly through us.

💻 The Best Way to Book with Us
To ensure you’re getting the best rates and the correct policies, we strongly encourage you to book directly through our website: maplemotelerie.com.

Booking directly guarantees:
✔️ Access to our best rates.
✔️ Clear and accurate policies.
✔️ Support directly from our friendly staff.

If you have any questions or concerns about your reservation, feel free to contact us directly at 814-833-4834 or directly book on our site at maplemotelerie.com

Please share this with your friends.
