    Newburgh Dam?

    Are the tailwaters fishable yet below newburgh dam for sauger? I know the water was up, but I don't know how far up. Please help!

    Right now the Evansville gage is just under 23'. The river looks like chocolate milk and there is a considerable current running. I'm not a sauger fisherman so I don't know about them but those are the current conditions. 8am Sunday.

    Dress Plaza's gates were closed on Thursday and Saturday. They close them when the river gets up high.

    Not sure about the Saugar Fishing below the Newburgh Lock and Dam. River is full of debris right now.

    Don is the ramp at Yankeetown underwater when the river is at 23 ft?

    Just wondering if the crappie are running up that creek and if the launch ramp is usable tomorrow?


    Regards,

    I haven't been to Little Pigeon but I'm sure the ramp is under water. You might be able to launch from the parking lot........

    Thanks Don:
    I sort of figured that the ramp would be underwater but was not sure. I'll have to figure out at what River Level the ramp remains above water and when it's underwater before I got there. I am not familar with the river levels at all so I appreciate the information. Saved me a trip.
