St. Croix Update?

[st.croixfishin]

Any general info on how the river has been lately above the dam at Taylors Falls? Don't necessarily need fishing reports, just info on water temps, water levels, and clarity of the water after this front that we've had. I have a small 5 boat tourney out there this saturday and haven't been up there in 2 weeks. I'll be sure to give an update on how it went... Thanks for any info!

All I know for sure is they didn't get much of this rain we had here. I would expect the lower water levels that have been the norm recently.

The river levels were up a little bit last week, but not anywhere near normal. Tunrevir and I got out near Franconia last Thursday. He outfished me in rock bass! But then again I outfished him in mooneye, so in the end we both caught one fish each in the "-1" category. The fishing wasn't too bad, got a few crappies, and a little of everything.

Above the dam, I'm guessing it's about the same...a little higher than a couple weeks ago, but still well below normal.

SH, whitetips equal a +2 so I had you by one then. It was good getting out with you, look foreward to doing it again! Good luck in the marathon!

You won the contest with that white tip. Although you lost that northern so that maybe set you back a little. Yes indeed, we will definitely get out again. You are always welcome in the Tracker.

Yesterday was the club tourney. The water had not gone up too much, but the water temps had dropped 10 degrees since the last time I was there. I had 9 1/2 pounds for 3 fish...with the biggest one at just about 4lbs. I caught them all in 6fow or deeper on a finesse jigs. Other guys in my club caught more fish than I did but not many over 14inches. Nobody brought in a limit...all in all it was a fun day out there with beautiful weather to go along with it.
