    Pool 5 at Alma is forecast to hit 10′ by next Wednesday. With all the ice above on Pepin things are going to get interesting. 10′ opens the gates. Conditions are going to get tough early.

    I expect a tow to be coming through (to Red Wing) sometime this week. That will help break up the ice and send it down to you.

    I hadn’t really thought of the amount of ice that’s currently on the river. The sudden rise before a melt will definitely send some massive chunks. We could end up seeing some historic ice dams on the ‘ole miss this year.

    I was planning on fishing pool 4 3/22 thru 3/25. I’m coming from S/E Wisconsin. Would you advise holding off a week or so due to river conditions?

    The river between Dresbach and Winona is still solid unbroken ice.Be interesting if it lets loose all at once.

    With this much ice coming down I cannot even imagine how much pressure it will put on the dams.

    Trying to get some guys opinions on the river for next week coming from southeast Iowa was wondering what you guys think about the projected water levels? When do ramps get shutdown around everts?

    Question, are the ramps at Bay Front Park open or still iced up?
