flood water

[willard887]

next weekend the Wabash river will be 11' over flood stage. Running the back water is the high light of my year. So much to see and taking the boat where you never get to go is amazing! I cant wait. Anyone else love this time of year on their river?

Does anyone else run an Illinois river?

Re: flood water

Be careful as current will be fast and there will be everything from beer cans to trees floating and partially submerged.

Does anyone else run an Illinois river?

Here in New Mexico we're still in the midst of a major drought. Our two closest lakes, Caballo and Elephant Butte are little more than mud puddles and there's no relief in sight. I envy you! I really envy you!

Re: flood water

I take our canoe and float some of the flooded rivers. I guess it is not as exciting for me as it is for you, I can canoe these places nearly all year long. Our pontoon is too big for these flooded areas.
