Cameron92 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited March 7, 2015 by Cameron92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshtrax Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The beaver flows pretty quick at the mouth. I don't think it would be safe at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron92 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you even attempt this..... Bring extra clothes (dry) and make sure you have said your prayers... G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bassin Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Meaford. Usually has some safe ice if you need to scratch the itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonidstalker Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
