    Is that the main ramp in Bellevue? Are the camping sites open? (ramps) The dnr is usually pretty good at updating info on their fishing report, I’ll have to check..

    I can actually hear the rubber drying out on the boat trailer

    thanks

    I was over to Clinton on Sun. You can launch at either the 30th street boat ramp, or down in Albany. Al, at R&R said thet would be opening thr flood gates at 9th Ave. on Monday the 9th.

    the 30th st. ramp is very shallow, the current fills it up, as told by a commercial fisherman..I thought they closed sections of route 84 into albany!

    9th Ave still closed and one pump a pumping (5/12), I’ll go look at 30th Av No., this will be the very first time this boat will be in the water, launching could take awhile probably just hold off

    9th Av No. Clinton, IA – flood gate is open, approach to docks are under water. thanks everyone, now I need to review throttle controls (again) before launching..
    Can’t wait for a day on the river to get used to the boat, manuvering, approaching, slowing etc. can’t wait

    You can always put in at Camanche. The current is a little squirrely. John Tucker and I put in there last Monday. Good luck with the new rig. Have fun.
