I slipped down to the Mississippi at Red Wing today to do some crappie fishing. I left the boat home. Oh, how happy I left it there.
The public launch on the Wisconsin channel had vehicles parked almost to the woodshed and when I drove past to get to where I was going they were backed up equally as far. Everts was a different picture. They were backed up half way to Hagar City on the highway.
The old landing in Colville was getting a workout too and rigs were parked all over the place. The only place that must have been crazier might have been at the dam. Coming home over the high bridge at Red Wing the boats were lined up for a drift downstream and looked like a segmented snake a 1/4 mile long.
That river is lunacy today. I can’t imagine what tomorrow is going to be like.
