Now THAT is a jug! I have not seen one that big on Kaw. Once saw red 2 gal gas cans, eight to a row, 20 rows as jugs. I don't know how they afforded them. Talked to GW about # jugs and he didn't care.

Don't know where all that junk comes from but I saw tires/rims, buckets, bottles even basketballs comin down the river. It makes you sick to see it. Looks like crappie season is in trouble. Lake is rising fast with 16000 cf coming in and they are only releasing 4000 cf. Lake came up almost a foot since yesterday and rising fast. Hope everybody likes catfishing up here.
Tried the crappie yesterday. We caught one sand bass, two walleye, and some small bass. No crappie. Time to get the big rods out and do some drift fishing for blue's I guess.
Dennis blues are in the flooded grass
Cool, thanks Tim.
Well the Corps pulled the plug and are releasing 10,000 cf. Inflow has stopped and lake has fell almost a foot. Tough fishing right now. A lot of current on the north end. Lake is muddy with water temps from 62 to 67. Wish I had a better report but I would look at the water release before I planned a trip up here. South end may have better water clarity haven't fished that side in a while.
Put the catfish poles up today and went after crappie. Killed them. Caught all the fish in 2 to 6 fow on black / chart and red / chart. Water temp was 69 deg. Kept a few females to check their eggs. Ended up catching over 60 today. Had several in the 2 lb range

Man do I hope I get my boat running before Friday!
fished from osage cove to north of Washunga, only one bite/fish for me on Jigs, she was spewing eggs when I lifted her out of the water, the water is as stained as Ive ever seen Kaw, was slightly less at Osage though,, water temp was 80 degrees. Good luck
