From River Run To Beaver Creek

[Dutch]

It has been a while since I have been down that way. I'd like to go on Friday. Is any of that area iced over? If so where and how thick?

Would it be better to launch at River Run or Beaver Creek?

[Phil Lilley]

I don't think there's any ice at all. But I have heard a good number of walleye from the dam down to Barker. Not sure if and how they're being caught though.

Good luck.

The lake is Low! Watch out for shoals and do not run up to the dam.

I was by there on Saturday, very low. you could put in fine at river run, but im not sure if you could get through that narrow spot about 100 ydrs downstream from the landing?

Thanks for the info. I have clipped gravel a few times on that shoal in the past. I may just put in at Beaver Creek and fish around there. I don't really have a species in mind yet.

I was down around K dock today and there was some ice on the north facing banks, coming out maybe 20 feet or so in the shallow areas, but no ice in the deep water at all.

The channel runs through there and you'll be alright with caution. The channel there is across the lake from the RR ramp and it the turns to mid channel after it clears the bridge. It is to low to run to the dam, I suspect it starts getting pretty shallow about Silver Creek. Swan is approaching a trickle, to give you an idea.
