Mississippi River Reports - Can it be Possible to sustain a thread?

[Morton]

In La Crosse the river is supposed to crest Monday and start a slow drop from there.

Will probably take 7 - 10 days to clear up and the temps are supposed to be dropping into the mid 40's.

Gonna' be a late and short fall season this year ...

definitely what i fear.

Took a ride yesterday to survey what is happening ... The gates in Genoa are still up and out of the water so the river is still running wide open. The navigation buoys are barely sticking out of the water at Stoddard.

Water is still coming off the bluffs at Victory ...

Yup ... looks like I better plan on 2 weeks before trying to fish.

the water in the rock is so clean (like 8-12" of visibility) and they are in there come nightfall. typical baits. having to switch up spots from normal spots but they are coming to hand.

River cleared up a lot in Genoa and the weeds are few and far between. With the water falling for the next 10 days or so and cool nights the fishing should improve ...

What method is working best?

[hnd]

pitching jigs and cranks. trolling would probably be good too. current seams, clean water is whats doing it for us.

plastic colors for me are (surprise surprise) white and chart, crank is silver/chrome/chart/perch colors.
