    Landing at the dam has a big chunk of ice still on the ramp. It’s about 10 inches thick and still pretty solid, If you have a smaller boat that you can slide on it your ok but us with bigger boats can’t launch there. If anyone want’s to help bust it up pm me and let’s open it up.

    It’s a monster chunk of ice and is gonna take alot of work to get it out of there. If a guy had a crappy chain saw that would be the ticket.

    That might do it but just hope we get it out of there so you can get your boat out. There is like a 16″ lip from the ice to the bottom.

    Good luck with that iceberg. That would be big if you guys can clear it and guy can trailer a boat in and out there. When you are done do the south landing then Snap some pictures and be safe.

    I don’t care if there are chunks floating around i can run them over. It’s just those huge sheets that are stuck on the ramp and floating on the river that are the problem. Right ALvinmack

    Three trips to this place in the last two weeks managed only one 12 inch walleye and one 8 inch perch in probably 15 hours fishing , can it get any worse down there ? doah
