Logan 1st dam, Any Ice fishing?

[Kayote]

Eighteen years ago I had a bad experience with that ice on the third dam on the Logan. I was fishing for browns on that very ice shelf along the road that was mentioned earlier. I was only ten feet from the bank when the ice shelf broke off and flipped up on it's side. I was tossed into the river and the air temp was below zero. The water wasn't that deep, but I was up to my knees in that sticky silt on the bottom. I could not move to save myself. Just about bought the farm right there next to the highway with cars zinging by oblivious to my plight. After about 15 minutes of fighting it I finally had to lay down in the water face first and did a kind of half swim half crawl. I made it but was hypothermic. I'll never forget that one.
