    I’ve always wondered, why are the wingdams not marked with a can or buoy? At least the very front end. I’ve found all of them on the upper part of P4 just by drifting a bit. Anybody know?

    Not needed for commercial navigation. Remember on Pool 4, any water north of the “Y” (on the Dam side) is not the navigation channel. You are on your own there.

    If they put a can on every wingdam on pool 2 you would have a higher probability of hitting a can than a wingdam – LOL !

    Never fished P2, but on P4 there are only 3-4 up by the Y that I know of. I know theres a bunch at the foot of Pepin towards Wabasha but I don’t fish there much.
    I have an older Navionics chip and that did not have them marked except for one up by the dam. Sure enough the App has them marked tho. After scraping a couple of them, I finally stopped fishing and put them on my chip! Just a small buoy would be a big help since there are so many boats that fish by the dam. Just my .02

    What resources do you guys like to use to find out info such as water levels etc on the river?
