The main ice has run from Boiestown to below Porter Cove Bridge with sections continuing to break off and work through from above Boiestown. A check this date, finds deteriorating ice and open sections Porter Cove to Holtville Bridge. Heavy Ice jam since December in the Tugtown area above Holtville Bridge, so up river ice will behind it and may take a few days before that jam releases.
In short there are local areas one can fish if they continue to watch up river for heavy ice runs and position themselves so they can leave the river quickly if using a boat.
Water level is not high but slowly rising.
In this area little shore ice but 2-3 feet snow on the ground and in the fields making river access difficult. One easy access area is from the driveway of our cottage (Moonshadow), down the steps and into the river with little to no shore ice at this time. DO NOT LEAVE BOATS ALONG SHORE LINE OVERNIGHT, much ice yet to come.
And don't forget, Spring Fishing 2008, barbless hooks.
