Does anyone know at what depths the St. Francis starts getting into all the pits and lakes? Or does it differ with each one? I only have 2 days to fish and want to be on the best water possible 1st thing each day vs. driving from spot to spot to check water conditions.

Same ? for the Black River regarding the bays previously mentioned.

I know flood stage with either river will be into probably every lake, slough, and pit off the corresponding river, but just wondered if anyone had payed close enough attention through the years as to what river stage started affecting their favorite holes. If I had my high school days to do over, I would have kept a journal of all kinds of info like this when I use to fish almost every week. It sure would be helpful now.

I've kind of told myself that if the river is in the holes I fish that isn't necessarily bad unless it is rising fast and really muddy. I've fished Tucker and Sunshine off the BR when they were really high but with good water color and fairly stable level and done ok. Actually, in that situation fishing structure on the bank was better bc so much more stuff was in water with 2-3 ft of water under it. I may be off on that.

Excited to come home and fish with Dad for 2 days. Wish it was longer.
