The water on shore is not 10'/20' deep to go crashing threw buckcrazey. The ice along the shore is frozen to the bottom this is not April with warm days to start melting the shoreline. The east end of Travers was still open in December while 500 yards away Little Bow had 12" of ice. If i am going to break threw i will take the 12" of water along shore instead of the 100' deep channel that runs threw Travers.
