here is a nice site if you like to check levels at the st cloud dam for height and discharge.

That dam is way too close to a university to use the word "discharge" in any sentence referring to it.

I dont think college kids would be rated at cubic feet per minute...  LOL

I've been using the river level information on the NOAA site.  The Fort Ripley gauge is the next one up river from me so I get a little advanced warning of what to expect.  The level has been dropping steadily since the weekend and looking better for fishing every day.

Wanderer, if want good fishing this weekend go try below the dam in LF. I know many people that have been down there sucker fishing and all they catch are eater eyes (15 inch or so). This is all from shore in maple island park.

Always fish to catch at the dam.  The whole reservoir south is good this time of year.

 

Levels at the LF Dam have been dropping all week.

That's what I've been hearing as well.

Wow it's really high now! How do you find the bass in all that high muddy water? All I found yesterday was northerns. I had a really big one following yesterday and pulled my lure out just in time.

It may be challenging for sure.  After seeing the flow the laat week in LF, i will forego this weekend and spend a day with bow in hand instead.  Fish are still there, i would venture to guess a guy would find them behind deep current breaks.

Yah, she's a bit higher than I like.  Crested today from what I can tell.  But with so much rain in the forecast after tomorrow I'm betting she goes up even more next week.

Crazy high for this time of yr.... lots of wood and garbage floating. On a positive note, fish are biting pretty good

[ANYFISH2]

Another 2 in of rain here near LF and more to come.

You know thw old Miss is flowing a nice clip when the ducks are treading water in once place and they create a wake behind them!

[Rick G]

Water is definitely  rising. Raining as I'm typing this..lol

I pulled my dock yesterday.  Wanted to make a couple more weeks at least but she was gonna go under this week I'm sure!

it was set to handle 9 feet.
