Mississippi River Pool 9 - Genoa

The river is predicted to raise 5 feet in Dubuque in the next 10 days.

8-9” of rain will make the folks down towards NO very happy!       

Fished Tuesday about 4 hours with good action on Saugers.

Fished about 3 hours today. The river came up about a foot and the weeds were downright evil. Caught one nice Sauger and gave up because of the weeds. Just couldn't fish where the fish are. Saw fairly good action on the float but they were having weed issues.

The river is gonna come up another couple of feet and the fishing by the dam is gonna get really tough.

Fyi...Heard this morning north of lacrosse in Trempeleau county...8-9" rain over the past couple days. And it's not done yet.
Alotta water will be coming down the Mississippi and black rivers in the next couple days. Flood warnings posted til 10/31.
Down by me in Pool 7, rain gauge showed about 2". Sure been a soggy week so far.

Gonna come up within the next week. Fished lynxville and Genoa by boat. Not on barge. Will recent rains mess up fishing and whtch one would you consider  better.
I fish pool 14. Eyes are in the fast H20

Fished Clements Barge today for about a half day. Jigs and minnows were the main ticket. Got a few deadsticking minnows. My color today for jigs that worked best was the lime green blue hair jig. Decent amount of fish coming in all over the barge. Mainly sauger but a few perch and a few walleyes. And a few cats. I am holding my brothers and my stringer so I have over 6 sauger in the picture. Nice day. Good chili out there in the kitchen on the float today.   

Im coming up the 21st for 5 days. I knew the water was low, but I see the flow charts is going my way
pull a lot of walleye up to the dam area   

Fished this afternoon on Clements Barge. I am guessing about 40 folks on the barge this afternoon. There were a few stringers of nice fish when I got there a bit after 1 pm. Fishing started out promising with a few small sauger for me and then one nice one. Most other folks also were catching some fish including a few nice walleye. And then about 2:30 it shut down pretty tight. The boats left as no one was catching anything. A few fish were caught late in the day by the gang out there but slow going this afternoon. As the guy next to me said ... It was uneventful. 

Water is real low FYI .... like lower then I can ever remember and I have fished here for 5 or 6 decades ... 

​Heading up next weekend.  ​Can ​anyone tell me if the water is low. 

Good morning on the Sippi with 3 walleyes 15.5-19.5 and a 13” crappie.  Pulled a worm harness and perch colored crank bait in current seams, 6-9 FOW.
