fishing reports Franconia area river levels

[dispatch1313]

Anybody know how the water levels are in the Franconia area? I'm going to put in at Franconia for the opener this weekend. Thanks.

I can't speak for franconia, but I checked the boom site access in stillwater and the water looks to be about 1.5 ft low.

I was out Saturday evening around Franconia and I would say it's close to normal. I thought it would be pretty high with all the rain we have gotten.

Channel cats provided a decent bite. Thanks to structure scan I have found a lot of new spots I never knew where out there, which provided us with a fun night of fishing.

I fished it on Monday morning and the water was up 2-3 feet and the clarity was down which made fishing tough but I did find a few willing panfish and walleye and sauger.  Jig and minnow was out fished by the b fishing ring  bodies with a paddle tail, dragged and hopped along the bottom.  It may have to do with the larger profile and brighter colors.  Caught a crappie on a shad rap while trolling which was kind of fun.
