    New to this site and wanted to say hello to all you fellow anglers. Just reserved permanent campsite at Wildcat Landing and am brand new to pool 8. I like all fishing especially eyes. All of my fishing has been from Alma to Red Wing only. This FTR site is really neat. Was wondering about fishing pressure at Trempaleau,Dresbach and Genoa compared to Red Wing.Also current flow at these dams etc and any other useful info. Look for me in a new green Lund Fisherman. Thank you all. Hybes

    Welcome to the site. Not sure about the fishing pressure down there, but I can help out with the current flow question.

    Go back to the main page here at FTR. Click on the link across the top of the page called “Stage and Flow”. Once you start checking it daily, yo u can get a good feel for much water is comming over the dam. Pretty interesting to watch during the flood last spring!!

    Hybes, welcome,am new to the site also. I gew up in Brownsville, so have a little info for ya. Live in LaX now, but they fish the wingdams and troll the sloughs by wildcat. Couple of the guys I know have done very well last couple of years fishing the rocks at dusk. Have told me they get smallmouth first, then they catch eyes as it gets darker. Also Lawerence Lake is a very good spot, lot of bass from there, it is just up-river a short way maybe I’ll cya sometime good luck John

    Hybes,

    Welcome! I am from La Crosse and fish pools 8 and 7 regularly and every now and then I get down to 9 at Genoa. The pressure is pretty steady with 7 being the least of the pressured pools in my opinion. 8 and 9 see alot of boats. Their has been quite a few small boats already below the dam at Dresbach. To be honest, I dont even know where wildcat is? Im assuming its that nice camp area in Brownsville. I fish a little bit down by Stoddard and some wing dams near brownsville. I would say that pool 9 sees the most noticeable and isolated pressure but pool 8 pressure seems more spread out due to all of the launches up and down the pool. Hope to hook up on the water or at the landing sometime. I will be running a Green Crestliner TS 182 dual console. Since La Crosse is one of the bigger cities on the Upper Miss and gets alot of out of town visitors, plus the close proximity to all three pools makes the pressure on these fish pretty steady.

    HYBES,

    As far as the maps, I just use the navigation charts put out by the army corps. Gianni I think has the link to where you can get them. You could also go to the Lax public library and just photo copy the pages you want.

    In regards to airport beach on the black river.

    I drive by their all the time and they were for quite a while but I imagine thats over with now. I thought they were nuts!

    If you go to General Discussion and go to page 4 under maps DeeZee posted the address for them. You will need adobe Reader and you can download if free at http://www.adobe.com scroll down and it will tell you how. Check out the whole page on maps. Jim

    Right-O. Here they are. They are in JPEG format, so you won’t need acrobat – Explorer or Navigator should suffice.

    When I print them, I do a ‘save link as’ and then re-size them to an 8×10 page in photoshop.
