    Howdy folks, New to the site but am looking for info on the launch at the genoa powerplant.Heard tales of lots of ice (as in froze solid) Any info would be appreciated and any info on launches further south in the same pool would also be great. Will be arriving on the 3rd. Good fishing to all.

    Welcome to IDA proy

    I’m sure you will hear about Genoa. I can tell you, Dresbach is froze all the way across! If you do Genoa, make sure to have some sand for the ramp, just incase

    I was just reading a map of the area and it looks like there is a Victory landing about 7 or 8 miles south of Genoa. Does anyone have any info on this launch. Thanks.

    The Victory landing is a primitive landing,all sand but the drop in to the water is good.Only room for about 10 rigs.It is best to have four wheel drive.

    Appeared to be 4 or 5 boats out today. Area in front of landing judging by the large pieces of floating ice everywhere is probably being broken open by boats each day. I see the commercial fisherman have there boxes stacked in the parking lot so I imagine they are keeping it open. Tonight 4:30 the ice had all moved back together and I imagine the boats coming in will have to work a little to get in and load. 10 day temps forecast. Tonight 21 Sat 27/9( 9 is not a typo) Sun 30/20 Monday 32/15 Tuesday 32/18 WED 27/21 THUR 28/18 FRI 28/19 SAT 37/26 SUN 36/24 Before you get too excited about Sat Sun temps 9 and 10 days from now you should know 4 days ago they were suppose to come next Monday and two days ago they were suppose to be here Weds.. feel free to post again or PM as we get closer.

    Well they changed the forecast on weather.com again back to what it was a week ago.. Mon 38/22 TUES 40/30 WEDS 37/29 THURSDAY – SUNDAY MID TO UPPER 30S FOR HIGHS low to mid 20s at night so watch the landing in the morning.. probably every day this week’s temps will like they always do this time of year depend on Sun or no sun.

    Revised Weather Report, she will be wide open by the time you get up here. 47 deg on Wednesday and mid 30 the rest of the week they should be popping. Remember through everything back over 20″!

    Awesome info guys, can’t beat the IDA group. I am going to be up near Dakota in a week or so. Hope the temps stay above freezing.
