    So the OH river is high and muddy again.

    Quit fishing it when like this, always got my a$$ handed to me. What do you throw in these conditions?

    Look for the clearest water you can find. They get shallow and tight to cover. I put s flipping rod in my hand and don’t put it down.

    So is the river still in bad shape? We have the IBF classic at Tanners this weekend and I hope its not that bad.

    The river is at 29.8 feet right now, and will be at 27 feet (which is about normal pool) by Saturday. I would think the creeks should be in good shape since we haven't got any additional rain lately... But the high of 58* on Saturday may mess with the fish a little... Dan

    Just drove over the IN 275 bridge coming home from Louisville for the day, saw the red dye they dumped in. That will help lol. Still muddy, may head down Sunday.
