Tahquameenon

I heading up to the cottage this weekend. Can any one tell me if the ice is off the Tahquameenon around Paradise. It was still covered a couple weeks ago.

Alot of ice on the shore line yet but the center is open and the mouth is open, I dont think you can boat it yet. You might be able to by the weekend.

Thanks, I will be up next weekend, hopefully we can get a boat in.

Smilley? Where do you usually put your boat in at, the rivermouth or above the falls somewhere? I am sure you won't have any problem by next week. The Indians have a small boat at the river mouth for netting but they had to drag it there from the highway because the road isn't plowed yet.

I put in at the mouth. I have never fished above, I would like to put in around hulbert and fish that sometime soon.

I will keep you posted. It has been cold here, 16 degrees this morning. Lot of wind the past 2 days. I will check the ramp out today sometime.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

The rivermouth isn't plowed yet but you can drive on top of the snow that is packed from the snowmobiles. The ramp is rough with a lot of ice on it but I think it will be melted by the weekend. The river is all open with a lot of ice flowing in it but you shouldn't have a problem with it. Just small chunks no more then 3 or 4 feet square Lots of ducks. 36 degrees right now with freezing rain and I am on my way to Newberry.
