BillM Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The whirlpool freezes? lol I'd be looking at the winds the past week to see if Erie has stirred up. If it has, the river will be blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadadude Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) It never freezes completly but it can be dangerous when the ice forms along shore, if conditions are tough there Queenston is a better option and easilly accessable,only 10min down river from the pool. Port Dalhousie in St Catharines is another option in the winter and is fishable all winter, it also dosn't suffer the dirty water as bad in the winter especailly with Welland Canal closed for the season. Port D doesn't get blown out in the winter Edited January 14, 2011 by canadadude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 As of today Queenston was pretty green but lots of ice flows. Shorelines looked pretty chunky. I'll have a look tomorrow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast Adventures Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Good Evening OFC! I was hoping for some well informed updates on the conditions at the WHIRLPOOL. Planning on heading down for SATURDAY. I got the ITCH ... Real Bad! I dont mind if the conditions are really tough. However, if theres no open water .. I`ve been told either: Frozen over or too many ICE CHUNKS flowing. Just to help my peace of mind, Is it: 1) real tough conditions, but fishing is still possible or 2) STAY HOME *SHORE FISHING Thanks Heads up! The ice in the lower river yesterday was really bad! the pool......packed!! water looks good tho! nice green. i'd save the gas $ unless something changes today with the conditions....i've fished in icy conditions before, but this is bad!! some spots you'd normaly fish, are iced right over! The ice is not safe! ps: current water temps are 33....... no boats out....too much ice, again...... winds for this weekend look bad too.....that time of year really need erie to lock up! shouldn't be long.....
