It seems like it would have a negative impact on the fish. However, the first year I moved to Georgetown - the Elkhorn was extremely flooded. After several months it stabalized and got back to the normal level. That was the best year for me fishing the Elkhorn (after it receeded and cleared up). That may have been ten years ago. I feel old now.
I just hopes everything stabalizes soon. I am tired of these extremes in weather. Last year at this time, It had rained very little, and it was an extremely dry year.
