    Is the Wisconsin back channel safe to run right now? I have not been down it since early 2000. Was wondering what obstructions have moved. Thanks.

    Not much has changed and there’s plenty of depth for navigation. If you’ve made the run before I don’t think you’ll encounter any headaches now.

    The biggest thing that has changed is the location of my channel catfishing snags…. a couple are gone and a their is only three really good ones this year compared to about 8 or 9 last year….but ..

    There is PLENTY of depth to run the back channel IF you know how to read a river… Just read the river and you will be fine.. I have seen plenty of poeple run onto the sand bar past the power lines….if you go buy the rule that the outside bends are usually the deepest spots you should do o.k..

    DO NOT just run the center of the channel!! That is why so many poeple hit [censored]..
