Well more big rains over the weekend and we went from starting this week to yet another hold up. Some day we will get going. If things get rolling I may cancel a family trip and add a week of dates the first part o June 16, 17, 21, 23, 28 and 29. July 10, […]
The river is finally falling and it should be able to get ramps open mid-next week. As of right now I expect to be rolling by the weekend. Extended flooding like this is usually good for catfishing and water temps say the fish are here. We will be hitting the ground running this year with […]
We are just a hair over 38 feet and the drop in river levels is incredibly slow. We have moved all trips out through May 31st and hopefully can get going June 1. This will have been the latest start for me by a long amount and it is really getting rough. As of right […]
The river is at 41 feet and about to crest and it is pouring rain again. Right now I am holding out hope for May 27th start but it is looking more like June 1. This is new territory for me to lose this much season to start. Water temperatures are in the mid-50s and […]
We had more rain and another crest at 45 or so feet this week. It is falling slow. While we have had to postpone some trips this is a situation that is most excellent for catching big catfish. We still hope to be going by May 23rd. We have a couple openings still in June […]
Oh what a difference just a few days can make. We were coming down from our second flood and possibly could have been fishing this week. Then two weekends ago we had a blizzard with 14″ of wet snow and this past weekend three inches of rain on top of that. With frozen ground we […]
Not much has changed on the river over the past week. We had about 14″ of snow in Grand Forks with more to come. We also have a forecast of rain next weekend. For now our second flood has crested and is on the way down. Projections say we will be down to about 25 […]
The flood is over but due to a big storm last week there is a rise coming to town which at this point is a good thing. We have another big storm expected this week so hopefully it doesn’t cause and extended flood. The water temps are staying in the mid-30s which seems it will […]
Our flood is already crested and on the way down. The big expected flood was really nothing coming in at just over 34′. Things have really cooled off this week so the water slowly falls but there is really no rise in water temperature. For now things look really good on the water level front […]
Things have been changing fast this week. The snowpack has shrunken and there is good runoff starting up. The river is still sealed up but it won’t be long now. Based on what I am seeing in the fields, I have a feeling the flooding won’t be near as bad as they predicted it may […]
