On the Walleye sites
They posted that Bolles is open (ice free)
But Sterling is still ice over

I thought you couldn't go in there anymore because of security issues.

Do you mean the Monroe hot ponds?

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I'd guess were talking about the Monroe hot pond
It's the only one on Lake Erie in Michigan water

As far as i know
there's no security issues, they do close the shore fishing down over the winter thou.

I was just trying to clarify since people are still going in their and fishing, I thought maybe he was asking about another place maybe nearby or something since he didn't specify where 'there' was? That's all.

Frank and I were there on Feb 10th. If the waves wouldnt have been a little rough, we would have made the hot ponds easy. His 16 ft alum didnt like the 3 footers.

I went to Bolles Harbor today and saw 6 or 7 vehicles with boat trailers at the launch. None of the docks are in.  I then went up to the plant and looked and saw  a couple of boats out. I saw fish jumping also. The Monroe access fishing site is not open but the Bolles Harbor DNR launch was with no docks in place.
