The upper and lower Fox Rivers are closed to boating and the chain is no wake. Lot's more coming down from the north and More rain coming. :shock:

Crazy.

All this rain is unbelievable.

My hope is that it will help some of the places up in WI that have been very low the last 3 years. They sure need it.

The forest preserve behind me, Caldwell Woods is comlpetely under water. I took the dog for a walk and when we got to the trail, it was completely submersed and a small fish swam away - no kidding!

Parts of northern Wisconsin are under severe drought conditions. They have not been getting all of this rain that we have. My understanding is that they finally got some much needed rain yesterday. I read somewhere that LM is down almost 4 ft. from it's all time high and fast approaching record low levels that were set almost 40 years ago.

 

[ClancyWiggum]

Yeah, this is nuts. Already this month the rainfall total is almost 14.5 inches of which we got over 6 inches in the last 7 days. And they are still calling for more rain over the next 4 days!

wow.. i was just on the chain saturday morning... didn't do crap for fishing, i got the skunkaroo and washhusky and his buddy rich got a couple teenie LM, a yellow bass, and a gill or two. we were targeting gills and crappies for the, but just couldn't find fish. we fished just about every lake on the chain too heh. i got out this morning from 6:00am-10:00am with a friend, though, at my private little hotspot and managed to land 18 7-9 inch gills, cut em up for a fish fry this weekend at a friend's house(the reason im not gonna be at the tournament saturday) all in all we got about 50-60 gills, 18 of which were keepers, i think we weighed it out at roughly 4 3/4 lbs of fish

Sounds like some good action that you got there this morning Pez. Thanks for the report!

This rain should get sent up to northern Wisconsin, cause there is absolutely no water up there.

But at the rate we're going, it's not going to happen...
