[quote SF_Austin]I agree with you, they will swim below the ice jam. The significance of deadwater blowing out isn't in the ice "blockage" it's more of a barometer for the water temperature. When the air and water temps warm up enough to blow out deadwater, then its warm enough for fish to be more active and start migrating again and for the fishing to really pick up.[/quote]
Also the River is usually too Muddy to fish below there from the ice churning and stirring up mud and silt,Thats why you want it out so the water clarity will clear up below deadwater.
