ramp conditions on Monroe

anybody know if the ramps are open or iced up
with warmer weather this weekend I would like to get out but everything up this ways is iced up

thanks

haven't been there, but I'd bet the ramp at Cutrite is good to go.

With the warm weather today and the rest of the weekend, I wouldn't imagine that they would be iced up.

There are no docks at any ramps on Monroe,,, just a FYI.

what happened to them??

They pull them out in the winter and put them back in in the spring time. Too early for dnr to put back in.

thanks didn't know that

If your fishing by yourself and launching by yourself, it makes it rough on the bottom of a glass boat as most of the sides of the ramps are large rip rap rock or your beaching your boat on the concrete ramp itself without a dock next to the launch ramp. And it makes no sense to me, as if your at a ramp today, you will see all the docks that were remove, in a near by bay still in the water tied up, so iced in docks are not a factor, cause when the bay with the docks in it freezes over, it's not hurting them where they have been staged.

Just another example as to why our fishing continues to worsen every year in this state. The powers that be in charge of the DNR have not the foggiest when it comes to our fisheries and what is best for them in this state.

makes a lot of sense to move them from one place in the water to another that is more likely to freeze up than where they were. SMART, REAL SMART.
