We got some rain over night in the region, so the water will begin to rise. I think Ft Wayne , Indiana got more rain than we did so eventually that will make its way to us and bring the river level up and more importantly bring another good push of walleye in to the area. Not that its been bad so far.
As a proud American and small business owner I am afforded the opportunity to do my part in keeping America strong. I do my best throughout the year to seek out and purchase American made products that we can sell here in the shop. I have had success with many of our main products . Unfortunately some fishing equipment simply is not made in the USA at all so we have to do what we can.

As always thank you for your support.
Still biting in the faster water , that being Jerome Rd rapids, Buttonwood and Bluegrass Island. In the next few days as the water comes up we will be able to spread out to other areas of the river that are currently to low to fish. Like Orleans Park, White street and along the Towpath.
Have fun, be safe and good luck fishing.
