A few updates.

I got a few emails and a couple phone calls to update the condition report.

Rock River: Flooding continues. Major flooding is occurring in Newville. Ft Atkinson and Jefferson are starting to flood past the roads adjacent to the river. I'm not sure you could clear the bridges by the Jefferson Dam if the water continues to rise.

There's a link to some excellent up to date information on the river in our weblink section on the righ hand column of the page. Be alert for rapidly changing conditions if you head down to the Rock River this weekend.

Crappie Fishing:

Okauchee: Got stirred up during the windy days that just passed us by. Water temps in the mid to upper 40's and the crappies are biting. Try Stumpy, the Channel/Bay Five and Icehouse bays. If you can navigate the channel, the south end of Garvin is red hot.

Pine: Water still very cold. North end should have some active fish this weekend or early next week.

Golden: Water in the Mid to upper 40's, panfish are moving into the north end.

Kessus: Crappies relating to dark bottom areas on north banks in 6-12 feet of water. Rosie reds are the bait of choice.

Moose: Crappies are relating to the wood in shallow water in the dark bottom areas. My source indicated that most of the fish that are shallow are pre-spawn males with some keeper sized fish mixed in.

Nagawicka: Boats channels in the Mid 40's, and some fish are starting to move into those areas. Water is high.

Nemahbin(Lower): Crappie are moving into the reed areas along the north facing banks. Current is strong in the Bark River sections with fairly high water.

Good Luck This Weekend.
