Ice fishing at mouth of Beaver River?

[Cameron92]

Has anyone ever done any hard water fishing at the mouth of the Beaver River near Collingwood? Is the ice safe there? My buddy wants to go up there tomorrow but I've never liked ice fishing rivers.

Uh.... Wear a floater suit, lol.

The beaver flows pretty quick at the mouth. I don't think it would be safe at all.

It was the indian brook he was talking about. Ice shifted quite a bit and jammed up on the shore. That was enough for me, got outta there pretty quick lol.

If you even attempt this..... Bring extra clothes (dry) and make sure you have said your prayers...

I grew up on the shores of Georgian Bay and have spent many days wet , cold and with a sore ass from the kicking

I got from various family members for being stupid and playing, walking and fishing on that pack ice over the years .

I can tell you from experience that it is very dangerous and not advisable and yes , I have learned my lesson

Meaford. Usually has some safe ice if you need to scratch the itch.

I have done this once, closer to the mouth of the Pretty, only to see massive chunks of ice flying off on a windy day. One guy ventured out quite a ways, and thought he would never make it back. We were in about 4 feet of water. I dont need to catch a fish that badly. Those days are over. Plenty of time during open water season.
