Any chance...

We all must learn to love and fish mud. Happy 4th.

Sorry for the delay. Chain-o-lakes is in Albion, IN (straight up State Road 9). It is a 100% electric trolling motor only lake. You can paddle or row yourself around but you cannot use gas motors of any type. None of the lakes are are large by any means. It is a quite place to have fun with the family. The entrance fee and motorized boat permit is required if applicable to your situation.

Fish_Story its a small world... I live in Treaty just 5 miles north of you :-) You are right once the water gets high there's not many places to go nearby. My wife and I just drove up to Chain-O-Lakes last night to look at the water levels up there. They seems to be a normal fill with no flooding. The only problem is driving the 60 miles one way to get there. So I am contemplating the drive versus going out on Salamonie and giving the flood a try.

60 miles is way to far for me. When I do go by myself, I never plan it. When I go its usually just spur of the moment. I generally just go down to Hogsback, or back to 1812. Head back...fish for a couple hours and head home.

I got the lakes and the vessels. No people whatsoever.

I think it may be September before missy Sally or roush will be fishable

beginning to look like Patoka will be the same way almost 11' over summer pool

September??? Shoot, I am hoping to be on the ice this year. All 3 reservoirs are on the way back up. Really curious how all this is going to play out. At some point they have to dump them, downstream stream rivers high or not...

They've been dumping as much as they can without causing downstream flooding, other than minor, for the last month or more. Doesn't make a dent when it rains 3 or 4 times a week. I look at the levels, and the outflow numbers every day for all three lakes, and it just doesn't matter when we keep getting 3 or 4" of rain a week. Huntington is up to like 19 inches of rain since mid June.


Louisville District Daily Lake Report

That is the daily lake report, with outflow. Right now Mississenwa north of marion is more of a lake than a river. It is up to the bottom of the bridge north of marion, and backed up. Almost no current, in an area that usually has a pretty strong amount of current and is 25ft below the bridge. I personally think it will be september at the earliest before they get back to normal summer pool.

From bank, I'd go fish the lake right now with no hesitation, especially up around the dam.
