Has anyone checked to see if the back channel landing will be open all winter? I heard that the back channel was owned nd ran by Scott Shepp who works for the parks department in Pierce county. Someone may want to talk to him about keeping it open.
Salted good this morning. There is a 7 riggs launched out of there now. There is a red and green marker at the closing dam. Stay between the 2 markers and trim up to be safe.

I’m not sure r r r is going to put up a fishing report later ill ask him to check.
Fresh on the water report ! The back channel is fine down to goose except for the sandbar. don’t try it!!
To bad something can’t be done to deepen that part of the channel .
If people would just remember to DRAIN THEIR TRAILERS OVER THE WATER before pulling out it would make life soooooooooo much eaiser !!!! 
I pulled in there this morning just to check it out and was followed by another vechicle that packed up to the ramp. I joked he forgot his boat but he was there to salt down the ramp. Don’t know that I’ll be cold weather fishing but I gave him a ten dollar contribution for salt. If I use it well go more. Nice to have the option under any circumstances so hope it works out. Hats off to River Rat and all that help out.

He told me about that! Some guy came up and gave me money to help pay for the salt!
As big as the world is, it sure seems small at times.

I must be going blind 
I was there last week and never saw those markers. BUT I remember where they used to be.(So I still dinged the prop 
)
Just got back from using this landing, not only did it work out great for me I had assistance in lauching from a fellow IDOer. Since I was alone he parked my truck for me and gave me my keys and I was off for a limit of saugers in 2 hours. Not only Minnesota nice but also IDO nice. Thanks guys for your efforts !!

I’m not sure when they were placed there, but they were there today.
JohnE…we’re all in this together. 
good that the bouys are back. They were not there a couple of weeks ago.
Please be respectful of others boats and the Mr. Sippi docks.
Once you get pass the markers headed to the main channel is their anything else to look out for ( like sand bars etc.)?I don’t feel like going for walk this time of year .
Stay on the inside of the cans as your going towards the dam and you’ll be fine.
You do know where the 3 wing dams are near the dam…right?

All I know is there is a red marker on one side and a green marker on the other side at the closing dam. Can’t miss them unless a person isn’t looking.

Relax erick. i was trying to find out how it was done so that NEXT year when we ask YOU to go put out some markers, we would know what to tell you, because we figure you will forget by then. short sighted and all…
Looks like Stu told you off.
I had the reply all ready to post and then just walked away.
I didn’t get that close, but I think they were bleach bottles. Now if you ask me what they were anchored with, I’m going to come down there and slap you.
Not to worry. I’ve got a solid supply of 8# sash weights…
Thanks for the backup.
