    Welcome. Not sure if you plan on making it up to Northern MN. I am up at the cabin this weekend and have taken advantage of some of the waters up here. Many of the Mississippi flowage waters are terrible low. Up to 4′ low and difficult to get into. The landings are very low. Bowstring, Little Jesse, and Winnie were slow today. We had multiple friends on each and nobody did well. Leech however was completely different. Had friends on Leech and they all did great. We went out there and didn’t do to well due to fishing with a buddy who doesn’t understand boat control. However we saw a lot of fish boated.

    I’m looking forward to getting back down to Roch and getting back on Pepin.
