Ohio River is on the way up

[jfw]

The river is projected to be 21ft on the lower by the 12th! That will change everything . It sure wont be Gin clear anymore

I'm just glad I got into some of the sauger action these past few weeks. It'll be some time for the river to get back to some semblance of order.

Hey Rob I was my kids Christmas music program when you called last night , glad you got some sauger.We had a great week last week, I have been eating sauger every other day !

I like it when it gets high on the lower.The mouth of Silver Creek should be hot then !

14 Dec by 7am, looks like it starts to fall according to the lower and upper, and is down about 2 feet by 15

Boys evidently this is going to be another very wet winter. We just had a months worth of rain in four days last week and now they are calling for more. I hate Kentucky weather with a passion, it's different than it use to be in my opinion. My wife won't move, if she would I would be in Arizona by this time next week.

Hey I have a question if you do not mind where is the mouth of silver creek Thanks, Andrew

We will miss the Sauger for a while below the dam. But they will be back there soon enough.

It is down from the boat ramp about 200yards on the Indiana side, anchor near the mouth

Andrew, I'm not positive but I don't think the mouth of Silver Creek is easily accessible by a bank fisherman. The river is high now and the current is very dangerous with 50 feet of release from the upper.

Hey guys fished the bear traps this morning with Fishinfreak. All I can say is fast water!! No way someone could fish the fossil bed right now out of a boat. You have 4-5ft waves in parts of the fossil bed. Didn't even get a bite. We used spoons, cb's and grubs. Where going to try the duck pond but it was all just fast current with waves. Sorry guys I don't know why the pics are sideways.

Nice report and timely. I'm afraid some new members to fishin.com will get hurt on the river. The newer members hear all about the sauger and are raring to hit the river with little understanding of current and flow. The river can be a very dangerous place and right now is no time for a newbie to test his skills on this treacherous water.

Be safe,people.
