Guest Report post Posted May 23, 2004 This blows Storming again. Never made it out yesterday. I kinda take note on those tornado watches. Nothing like being 4-5 miles from port and having something blow in on ya. John, Marc and I did find a little 4 hour window and hit the pond this morning. Nothing fast and furious though. We took 4 walleye and lost a couple. By the sounds of it, the rivers are done for a while Of course we in the middle of another downpour. FTI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Have any of you guys seen Yates on Channel 7? It's about the size of the Mo at Croton. I went back to the boat to button it up after the storm. (kinda late ) All kinds of powerlines down, flooding on many side streets and the sirens went off on the way. More storms are scheduled until 4am. Just what we need Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SALMONATOR 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 I just headed down the road to check out the Loft access this evening. You wouldn't believe it SD. The bar is an island right now. Clinton must be 200'+ wide there. Drove over to Yates and things were about the same. Water was just a few feet from Avon rd. and I couldn't see the dam at all. Like it wasn't even there. I just hope things aren't as bad up north. Already had to cancle a trip this weekend. This sucks. Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 The loft is in a bad place also Al,its probaly the lowest thing in that area Check out OSD's river flows he has pinned in the coldwater forum...its not lookin good right now for the up north rivers...but if the rain slows this week then they may be "ok" for the holiday weekend.

Guest Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Holy Smokes, Bob Average flow in the hundreds and now at 6000. Hell the Mo in Spring rarely goes over 5 and averages around 2500. Is that covered bridge in any danger? It's starting to look like that one flood in the fall. I remember salmon in farmer's fields. Was that in the early 80's?
