Monroe came up 3 feet last night and still rising today. Historic flooding in Bloomington. Gonna be another crappy flooded spring on Monroe. Already 10’ high and won’t get back down until mid summer.

So I shouldn't plan on fishing grass this summer?

Up another 1.7 overnight.
If it stopped and they started pulling, that would be almost 4 months to get back down.
Steve, you can still fish grass. It will be all around the flooded trees and in people’s yards.

Before the grass came back it fished better when it was a little high. But 10 ft is up there pretty good. First two USA Bassns are in March I believe
Whats it like in the parking lot at the causeway, or is there a parking lot,,,,again?
Is there any place to stay close to the lake
Are there any opens in March at Monroe . Maybe since I’m planning on fishing I could make it for an open and donate some money to you guys ..
They are predicting possible heavy rain beginning Sunday, mon, tues, then rain again thurs/fri. Central and southern Indiana is flooded now and only going to get worse. Monroe is 5.7 ft above summer pool. They report 9.7 but take the increase from winter pool. It’s still going to come up with more rain. East Fork of the White River will not go below flood stage at Williams Dam till at least a week from this coming Wed. And the expected rain will only make things worse. This weather sucks.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
I stand corrected, Monroe is now 11.8 above. It’s going to be a while before they open and lower Monroe as all rivers below are super high and at flood stage.

I have never seen it drop more than 0.2 per day and usually it is gonna be 0.1 per day. Over that will flood below and they won’t do that. I have never seen it drop 0.4’ in day. No way it will ever drop 12’ in 50 days. Will make a bet with you that it takes till late July or after to get back to pool.
Mississippi is way up, all our rivers in southern Indiana won’t totally crest till Fri/Sat down by Wabash and it’s flooding. I am surprised they are letting out 3944 out of Brookville as Ohio is flooding. And we are in a weekly rain pattern for Feb. We just don’t need any more rain.
