[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 460793, member: 12995"] We don't have a dock at our ramp so I just get my feet wet pretty much every time. The river level determines what your launching/retrieving angle is going to be so I expect to get wet. When I try to stay dry, I usually end up slipping on the river bank or trailer and that increases the chances of getting hurt so I don't bother trying to stay dry. I went out in Feb last year, a week after the ice broke up and that water temp had to be right around 32-33 so that was a bit of a wake up! Here's our ramp, it's pretty narrow and at an angle. And there's a nice big rock on the upstream side. Usually in the middle of summer, the water level is much lower and the rock is completely out of the water and not a factor. [/QUOTE]
