It looks like P2 is dropping!!!!

Driving 494 this morning over the Minnesota river, it looks like she dropped about 2ft, if not more.

Did they open the gates???

It is definetly dropping. I go over the 35E bridge all the time and you can now see shoreline again and the trees are out of the water by quite a bit. Methinks I will have to get out there next week. This weekend I’ll be trying to get out on Reno, Minnewaska, and Emily. If I’m lucky all three!

Too bad the river will be taken over by maniacs this weekend. The bite would have been great.

the bit has been great before the water fell. Just to let you guys know that Lilydale road off 13 near 35E will be closed June 29-July 7 or the July 9 can’t remember only for a mile or so. Thats what they had posted on the signs. Good luck.

Yes they have the road closed signs up but i was still able to get to the ramp today.
Yes the water has dropped and it seems the good fishing has dropped right off with it. So much for expecting a few 5# to 8# fish every time out. Spent 6 hours today looking for bigger fish and ended up with 4 between 15 and 21″. Come back high water. The fish i did find today where all from new areas again. All my high water spots have seemed to dwindled away. Back at it in the morning looking for new fish.
