Boat ramps

[Guest]

They re-did the road at Birchadale...shouldn't be as much a probelm. There is not much parking at Frontier..I don't think that ramp is open yet.

thanks....is frontier gonna be open enough by friday for a couple 16 foot boats? Can you park on the road at frontier? And the big question....Is fishing better at Birchdale or Frontier? Or is it a walleye a piece?

Most of the time at Birchdale you can hitch a
ride, if we all work together we can make things go pretty good at the landing. Someone posted do's and don'ts check it out.
By the way if I drive by a guy walkin I'll offer a ride!!!!Good Fishin

The county widened the road at Birchdale and Vidas access. I did not see the "No Parking" signs on the road when we were checking conditions. So . . . I am assuming there is parking on both side of the road.

Frontier landing can accommodate about 40 vehicles. That landing is not for big boats because the ramp is in poor condition. However, this is left up to the angler. Take a look at the ramp when the shore ice is gone and make your decision. Most will launch from Birchdale or at Vidas when it finally opens there.

Frontier had 100' of shore ice yesterday. You get a few that start going over shore ice and this breaks it up.

Hope this helps.

Just got back from 3 days of fishing. Birchdale was not busy....we pretty much put in or took out right away, although I expect the weekend to be much busier. They have widened the road substantially. Parking should be much better, and like another guy said, just about anyone will give you a ride to or from your truck. As of today, Frontier is also open, although the ramp is not nearly as good as Birchdale. They were still putting in some big boats at Frontier. There was a very strong East/Northeast wind last night and all day today that is opening the river quickly in spite of some very cold temps. I think the main channel is open at least 3 miles west of Frontier with varying shore ice. Water temp this A.M. was only 31 degrees! Saw some guys with frozen-up motors. Only die-hards were out, and conditions were brutal, esp. on the hands!

Are the ramps pretty busy? Does it help to get there early? I've heard that parking is kinda a pain and you have to park 2 miles from the boat ramp. If that's the case should a guy bring a 4-wheeler? How is the parking at Frontier? Just need some info so I know what to expect this upcomming weekend.
Thanks,

Is there a good chance of fishing the Vidas/Clementson area the weekend of the 12-13th? I love that area!

Thanks to everyone for your help. Now let's just hope that the weather cooperates! Good Luck fishing.
