Alright, first post, bear with me. I walked Hidden Falls to the Ford Dam yesterday, and there’s about ~1000 ft of open water from the dam to where the river narrows and the ice begins. The middle of the open water is max ~14 ft deep, with decent drop-off on either shoreline. Close to the dam is more shallow and flat, but as it gets further downstream to where the ice begins, it drops more “dramatically”.

Think it would be worth it to pitch a jig and crawler in that open water? I don’t have the time or gear to devote to ice fishing, and honestly know little about river fishing. Just trying to scratch that itch and this nice weather got me itchy.

Thanks ya’ll, happy to be here. Open to any tips or alternative ideas.
