anyone seen the river and launches lately? I have been really tempted to go down there and check it out but havne’t made it. With the sunny days and upper 20’s and 30’s I’m curious how close we are.

February 17, 2010 at 8:04 pm #843344I was down to hidden falls last wknd and posted some pics….where were you today Dog? down to 494?
February 17, 2010 at 8:08 pm #843348We are really close to the point of breaking out the chisels again on 494. There still is a big ice lip there as of yesterday afternoon; but the ice just beyond that lip might be already gone or close.

February 17, 2010 at 11:07 pm #843379They are going to be doing some work under the bridge soon so it will be closed on and off. I will post when I find out the dates and times.
February 18, 2010 at 2:25 am #843440someone should go down there and clean one up…
February 18, 2010 at 2:45 am #843450If I don’t have work tomorrow that is exactly what I am going to do. I should be down there by 8:30.

February 18, 2010 at 3:14 am #843461As much as I love fishing Pool-2, P4 really isn’t that far
Not to mention who at the landing has the good advice, great company, and hot coffee
Hey, Dean? Where ya at?
February 18, 2010 at 2:39 pm #843527As much as I love P4, where else can you get the smell of the sewage treatment plant, the bakery, and the compost pile all in one inhalation? I miss P2!
February 18, 2010 at 3:16 pm #843538Make sure to give me a call if a chipping party breaks out!

Call me AFTER the chipping party.
February 19, 2010 at 7:17 pm #844111I did go chipping by myself yesterday morning. I made some progress. I don’t know where it is at now; but it has to be close. I also used some Na on the ramp
Perhaps there are people launching there this afternoon? dd
February 19, 2010 at 10:35 pm #844185Well there ought to be somebody launching this afternoon. The ramp is a go, the temps are alright, and the winds are light. It doesn’t look good for me tonight; but I got the batteries charging and gear is being assembled.

Does that mean that I should be getting my gear ready
Good luck
cheers February 20, 2010 at 5:48 pm #844382Might be hitting it tomorrow afternoon/evening. Today looks really awesome, but to much junk to do today.
You want to go tomorrow? 
dd
February 20, 2010 at 7:01 pm #844390Ramp is in good shape. So, I’m getting the boat ready and notice my tabs are EXPIRED!!!
Damn, not going to chance a ticket. Anyone have an open seat? I can be there inside 15 minutes! Call me. Number in profile.-J.

Your sister would be solo parenting, after see killed me
Sounds like you have a good number of takers to fill your available seats.
I have a patient at home to attend to.
Good luck
cheers February 21, 2010 at 9:04 pm #844598Alright…lets hear it. Who got out? I stared down a hole in the ice this morning … hopefully for the last time this season. I’ll be prepping my boat this week and hopefully find some time to put my new SI unit on before the next warmup.

February 22, 2010 at 1:37 am #844665I saw 5 trailers in the parking lot around 4 pm. Starting the motor for 30 seconds in the garage is as close as I got today. But I am ready to go now!
dd
February 22, 2010 at 1:57 pm #844779I got out late Sunday afternoon and made a couple drifts by the airport but only got one small sauger. Towards evening I anchored on a wingdam and stayed until well after dark but didn’t get anything. There was just too much ice floating down the channel to run faster than no-wake speed once it got dark. Lots and lots of ice. The ramp was in excellent shape.

February 22, 2010 at 7:31 pm #844916Good news!!!
February 23, 2010 at 7:53 am #845134Tried to get down there this afternoon to check it out but the road is closed, I will probably check it out again tomorrow
February 23, 2010 at 9:47 am #845136I heard rumor that the lillydale ramp is now open.
