    The saint is rocketing upwards. We just got a hard rain this morning, about an inch, and more rain is expected tonight.

    Wish I could take part! All you big water kayakers have fun!

    The pool at Fisherman’s is open which means the rest of the river will be open- especially after today’s 50 degrees.

    &2 still has ice all the way across, but it looks bustable in a kayak.

    Di and a few others are meeting at 11 am to do the river. I am shuttle-cock. If I, or we, are there I would be happy to give you a shuttle.

    It was a great day today.So nice to have warm weather on Jan. 6th! Water temp is rising too. It is now 42 degrees.

    We are meeting tomorrow at D at 10 AM if anyone is interested. So far looks like a group of 8.

    NOW A WORD about the gate. I hate it being closed as much as anyone but here’s the deal. If Jim or Doris get caught with the gate open…[Read more]

    We didn’t get a lot of water, maybe enough to do Stout’s dinkable (remember the wire). Farmington got an inch plus. This should make for big water tomorrow.

    Wow! Looks like a good group forming. Yes, the gate is closed. I am bringing my cutting torch.

    Di swims at Farmington 11-12 and we can then be at river around 1 pm?

    Jerry- Sofia, my granddaughter gets credit for closing up your car.

    For me this was especially a great start to a new year. I did the upper solo and played everything, even the big air boof at man behind the door, and all the 360 holes. At MS Di went with the group, and I took the grandkids to silvermines where we practiced rock climbing, and…[Read more]

    Be careful of the wire on Stout’s Creek just below dayspring bible camp. I believe it is still there. Di and I are going to be about around noon.

    Farmington and Libertyville got a ton of rain. The ditches  are running like crazy. Should be pretty high for tomorrow’s New Year’s Day Float!

    Sunny and 35 degrees.

    McChuck replied to the topic WARNING RIVER HAZARD barbed wire on lower stouts in the forum General Discussion 2 months, 1 week ago

    If I were well I would have cut those wires today. Cody very politely called them. Sue and Howard Henry, 573-546-2343. They are utter ass-holes. They told him to get a lawyer, that boaters were now trespassing, and she hung up on him. They are just down from Dayspring Bible camp. To all intents and purposes it looks like they just want to block…[Read more]

    You have every right to cut that wire. My exbro-in-law and I used to fish the Saint between the 2 67 brdges and he would bring cutters to cut the wire. It finally ended up in court when he was filmed cutting the wire. In court it was determined that the Saint is a public resource and putting wire across it was illegal.

    Stout’s is no different.…[Read more]

    McChuck started the topic Shortest Afternoon in the forum General Discussion 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    For all you playdoggies out there, our afternoons started getting longer this week (not sure of exact day due to latitude differences).

    This means more time on the river.

    Only a small miracle will get me to the party this Saturday but I hope everyone has a lot of fun!

    McChuck replied to the topic Report from the Saint in the forum General Discussion 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    It is very difficult to gauge “when”. The Little Saint is so high that it is washing out some of my predictors.

    Stout’s is running dinkable and added to what I “think” is happening at Roselle,  we could have a very low, yet dinkable Saint right now. Jerry, if you are going, please get a visual at “D” bridge.  Not sure Stout’s has even reached t…[Read more]

    LOL! You can’t do anything around the area with out running into an archeological site. When I was on the city council we couldn’t lay a straight line of pipe.
