Default Caresland

All, I can tell you is as of last week i went to Jansens , Mckinnon Flats and the Caresland Bridge below the weir and all had 5 feet of Ice and Mckinnon had 20 yards of it. With a little warm weather over the next few weeks we should be good. A lot of slack water at Caresland launch so probably a significant amount of ice. Hang in there, It's coming soon!

Am going to the PC Tuesday and will drive upstream of the weir as that section is open. Is there good access for a little boat? My GPS says the north side but would like some suggestions. All C&R on a fly. Thanks!

Default The Bow at Caresland

Am just back and want to say thanks for the "lack of info shared". I managed just fine! I now know more about the area than before. Lots of water and lots of Browns.
