River could get ugly..

[Sluggo / NY]

With the recent cold snap.. we picked up a lot of ice on the river. I'm planning on hitting it tomorrow.. hopefully before everything upstream breaks loose! I know it's supposed to be nice on Saturday, but I'm not so sure that the river will be! Too warm too fast may make it pretty bad down there until it has a chance to flush through. It usually only takes a day or two. I know there's not much time left, but you guys planning a long haul down may want to hold off. I'll post the conditions tomorrow evening, but I'm betting it won't be pretty! Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris) ps.. I just talked with a couple of guys who just came off. They did OK, but not great. The water's still pretty off-color from the last batch of runoff.

With this high water the catfish will be biting soon.I checked the river yesterday and the launches were flooded.

Yea they start biting now,spring is the hottest bite of the year for cats.I got my first ones March 7th last year on the North Branch.Its been a little colder this year though,but the beginning of April with high water and you will slam them!!!!
