Well, Thanks, Skeeter210! We did discover some interesting information from the North Fork folks but we can't really explain it here, if you know what we mean. All we can say is those folks who are in the vicinity of North Fork might just want to stop in the store and ask around.[/quote]Any ice pic's today?

Howdy, Skeeter210--I am sitting and waiting by the computer right now. I just got a really cool Access Report from Salmon IDFG but there's a glitch in the formatting so I asked them to correct it. They sent the first photos (so far) of the actual conditions farther down river in Deadwater. Looks pretty gnarly. ANyway, I am trying to get the most current information this morning but The VIllage People are real busy and haven't had a chance to get back with me. I will put up a note here as soon as I know something. Thanks for your guess. Now the question is, who's gonna be hangin' out at 2:30 am to see if you were right on Sunday morning?

Thx for the info. Trying to plan a trip up there and don't want to waste a couple of days waiting for the water clear up.

I hope it breaks soon. I have plans to come up next week and I am afraid it may not be fish able below deadwater.

If I were a betting man I would bet the fish are swimming right under that ice jam.........

I agree with you, they will swim below the ice jam. The significance of deadwater blowing out isn't in the ice "blockage" it's more of a barometer for the water temperature. When the air and water temps warm up enough to blow out deadwater, then its warm enough for fish to be more active and start migrating again and for the fishing to really pick up.

Also the River is usually too Muddy to fish below there from the ice churning and stirring up mud and silt,Thats why you want it out so the water clarity will clear up below deadwater.
