Winter courtesy

Just a reminder for hunters an fisherman after you put your boat in stop the trailer tires on the edge of the water and let excessive
water run off just takes one minute and the next guy will appreciate the dry ice free ramp.Happy Holidays Gary

Good idea.

Never thought about that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Noticed some ice yesterday on a concrete ramp @ Rend but not enough to mix a decent drink.

In the winter i always carry a bag of sidewalk salt in my truck.

ive been stuck at the frozen boat ramp before, it's not any fun waiting for a friend to come salt the ramp for you so you can load your boat. lol

thats some good ideas both the short pause and the sidewalk salt. next time im out ill try to remember to pause

I always throw salt out at the ramp when its below freezing . It helps me and the next guy as well .

See ya Kevin ><)))*>

Many reservoirs have begun the winter draw down. Watchfor exposed moss at the bottom of the ramps. It will not dry out as fast thistime of year and 2 wheel drive vehicles may struggle.

Always check the ramps for ice before you back down them. In addition to salt I also carry some abrasive material to toss on the ramp. Works quicker; then salt the ramp for later. For abrasive, sand or better yet fish aquarium gravel works great.

When duck hunting under real bad ramp conditions, we always take two 4X4 vehicles and a tow strap.
