Anybody planning on fishing Patoka this weekend, as you have tourneys planned, might want to keep your eye on the road conditions as rivers around French Lick are already high from weekends rains and French Lick as been flooded once already this month. Lost River will flood at/ near Orleans and close down Hwy 37 if it gets much more rain. All highways into French Lick from north and east will flood out maybe again. Best route to Patoka will be going to Jasper down Hwy 231 then take 164 to Newton Stewart unless your coming in from the south. Lost River at French Lick is already 19 ft and slightly dropping but East Fork of the White River if it goes Higher than predicted right now will back the Lost up. Ground is totally saturated and everything is super high and climbing. You can check these websites for road and river conditions.
