Ohio River

the only good thing that I see, from the ohio river being this high. is it will let some of those big mississippi river blue cats, make their way to the falls of the ohio. where chuck and doug can make pets of them.:)

i sure hope some of the bigger blues move in. and hopefully i can get a few of them in this summer.

Man when that ole river settles and eventually it will the fish will either be jumping in the boat or they will be a bear to find. This one is really gonna change things up, old structure gone and new ones made. Gonna be interesting for sure.

Chuck is gonna put me on that 60lber this year I can feel it in my bones...:)

Predicting a crest of 33.3' now in Louisville on Tuesday! Man oh man that's high!
If it hits that high, that will be the 12th highest level recorded in Louisville
The Flood of '97 was ranked 7th, and it is listed at 38.76'

Paducah may get the worst of this.
It's showing 47.89' now which is the 24th highest level on record.
It's predicted to hit 53.0' on Fri. which would be the 5th highest level on record - the Flood of '37 was 60.60' (Highest on record)
The Flood of '97 was 51.79' (6th highest)

And we are supposed to get some even heavier rain on Wed. :*(

yes they said rain Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe Tuesday real heavy. watching tv right now

I can almost imagine how Noah must have felt.

4-7" between now and Wednesday

I was realy looking forward to some sauger fishing this year it has been more then 20 years since the last time i went but I guess it will have to wait. If the river does straiten up I would like to find out were they hide all summer.
