Negative...it was a WASH OUT!!! River came up probably 6ft in the few hours I was there. That guy in the van on the ramp started off high and dry until the river came up...then his tires were under water, lmao! Oh well....

Glad you made it out of there safe.

Any of y'all remember when the walleye used to make their runs up the river to spillway? Then it seemed like they disappeared and then the hybrids were there and coming into spillway. I caught a 6-7 pound walleye there back in the '70's one night on a Rapala minnow. Then in the '90's I caught a 3-5 pound hybrids on nearly every cast using a Pop 'R or Chug Bug for the first two hours or so early one morning in August. What a blast that was!

Oh yeah. Walleye were there in the '70's and hybrids in the '90's. I wish the wallleye were still there.

LOL Yah that's Rob he just made that contraption and for all the measuring and cutting even using a framing square it is crocked. We never would let him use many power tools by himself..
