As of 6:00 am the Corp is still running a minimum flow on the Lil' Mo'. I went to the Corp office yesterday to tell them they have the bunger valve tweaked just right for fishing on the river. They advised the bunger was running at 7% capacity and they planned on keeping it that way for a while!!  What ever a while means??🤔🤔.

At any rate, its kinda like big water fishing. I did notice the water clarity had worsened a little, must be picking up a little silt off the bottom of the lake. The water temp is holding at 54 degrees at the park, haven't checked down river lately. Maybe some fish have washed down to River Ridge??🥴. I fished yesterday and caught about a dozen, that's summer time fishing!! 

‼️ At 5:00 on 9 July 2024 they have STOPPED the minimum flow????  Don't know why or when they will start back.

A little off subject, but I was wondering how you faired from the storm last night?  Hope all is well for you, Mike.

Faired fine from storm. Small blow and 4 inches of rain. We needed the rain, only have had 3/4 inch rain in past 28 days before the storm. On a sad note, I fished yesterday, after the storm and now with no water flow, and I got skunked!! Fished from 6:30 to 9:30 am at wall hole and David's rock and did not get a bite!!!  Don't know what the deal was, just lost my touch I guess. Gonna give them another chance today.
