Yes,the water is open but there is still alot of logs and other things floating down the river. The Red Lake River is still full of ice and can break out at any time. I have never seen a spring like this. The Red Lake river is one big is jam for miles and miles and when that ice decides to break lose I do not want to be on the river. When it does come lose I will be one of the first on the rive and the reports will start coming more often. Just waiting for a safe river.
