Welcome back spring high, fast and muddy.

Just shy of it, topping off at 1900 right now. Depends on what Wisconsin got. Supposed to get 2 guys out tomorrow on a trip. Fly fishing high and fast. We'll see.

There was a crap ton of rain last night. DPR in Riverside shot up over 2.5' and is flowing at almost 2500 at them moment. Time to start fishing the flooded areas!

Took a walk by the river. Hardly stained it at all. The river is already starting to drop and the clients want to get out on Tuesday afternoon. Might actually be some good fishing.

That figures, it was dropping nicely then started heading back up. 1830 isn't awful, but 1700 and dropping would have been better. Must be the trickle down from up north.
