Hi all, I also made my maiden voyage to Echo yesterday. My son wanted to park close to the dam but that wasn't our best idea of the day. The water is rising and the shore line was very soft. We steeped on the ice and it would not support our weight. We carried the sled down to the ice and then walked the rocks a long way toward the ramp before we found safe ice to walk on. Once on the ice it was over 12" deep. We caught over 60 perch but could not locate the trout. I called out on the raido several times to try and locate other BFT folks but I received no responses on channel 12. Is that the standard channel to use? I would like to see more people using their radios when fishing so we can meet each other. You can buy a pair of FRS radios for under $50.00 these days. It truly was a beautiful day to be enjoyed by those who were there. DKSRenegade
