So my goal of startin my Duper fishing adventures this year are starting later then anticipated. Was hoping the long week was going to give me an opportunity to try to get my feet wet, but with all the rain and the flooding is it even worth it? Should I even bother to try, or is now a good time to try and locate the fish with the floods and high waters? I was looking to target the river from downtown Plainfield south, thoughts or encouragement is welcome!

Bring a life vest. I would hold off if you're a newbie. It will just frustrate you with the high waters. Combine that with a large population of the adult fish being caught somewhere in-between on the spawn, the chances of finding a feeding fish drops even more. That being said, I will be watching gauges very closely

I echo jmdog. I wade those waters frequently. Wait until the Plainfield gauge is about 7-1/2ft. Way too fast right now.

Appreciate the info. Will stick to the ponds for now I guess or just spend the time smoking some meat...... :lol:
