This will seem like the "Twilight Zone" report, although our pictures give you the reality. The river is open to Frontier. Yep, I looked again at the calendar, it's the 3rd of January. The river is basically open shore to shore almost to Frontier. The Sheriff's department or the county, at some point, placed the yellow tape at the Vidas ramp to keep people from accessing the river. I would imagine there is very little ice.

This is the first time we have seen this in the 11+ years we have been here. What does it mean? Well, maybe have your boat ready earlier this year. We are still in the winter season and the river will more than likely freeze up at some point. Only time will tell, but I believe it will be an early, early spring.
