Getting anywhere close?

I see she's coming down and the prediction at Savage is to drop about 4 feet in the next week.

I usually launch at BD and the street signs at the outlet visible from the 77 bridge were totally underwater. Last I saw the water came down enough the signs were out but the road was still underwater.

Any guesses when it will be launchable on that river?

I'm tired of lakes. I'm also tired of no wakes, or those lakes without the wake ban being jammed up with the recreational traffic. Dying for some river solitude.

Sooooo nobody else getting ancy?

Drove down BD road tonight. Road is still flooded under the bridge a bit but its a foot or two below the road at the outlet at BD lake.

From the sounds of things, the MN is still sketchy. Jordan and upstream from there are open I think, but I heard Chaska and Carver are still no go. Not sure about Shak but I'd guess it might still be closed.

The next few days should see more ramps opening up. Just in time for the flathead spawn.

Launched in Jordan about a week ago, I’m sure its super greasy by now, maybe not even usable. Carver closed, Chaska closed. Launched in Shakopee on Tues, water is still fairly high up the ramp, need to jack knife trailer to launch. Been fishing a lot recently, but don’t remember the last time I had a single bite on the MN. Caught a few over on the Miss though and have been seeing some nice fish caught over there, also hearing good reports over on P3 and P4.

The MN is a dead sea once again….and easily the fewest prespawn cats I’ve caught since I’ve been cat fishing, hopefully something can be salvaged after the spawn….perhaps a trip to the greatest catfishery in the world will turn the year around.

There is still some water in the Henderson landing, but after the water drops, the landing is full of mud. Good luck getting someone to clean it out. Oh, and good luck getting to Henderson, as most of the roads here are still closed. It seems the state, county, and city are in a huge hurry to not get the roads reopened around here.

Road is still closed at black dog, but one could drive around the barriers.

One did drive around the barriers.

It's mucky, but not too bad. I drove to the launch in my Honda and didn't have to worry about anything. Maybe 15 feet worth of the ramp is exposed, looks like you could launch there.

Looks like they ran a grader out there on the road and looked like a street sweeper was making run when I went out there, It's dirty but not too bad. I suspect that dose of rain this morning probably cleaned it up considerably.

River was pretty swift with lots of debris.

The whole general area smells like taking off a pair of neoprene waders after a whole morning of farts, if that's your thing.
