Headed down Tuesday in the rain and had to stop at the cemetery at the bottom of 119 as that is where the water was. Wednesday afternoon we went back and the water was in it's banks and the spring branch had been stocked the night before, not sure how. We caught about three nice sized rainbows in less then an hour. I was surprised that the park wasn't in to bad a shape with the amount of water we had seen the night before, the roads had debris but nothing to cause a problem. Not sure what level would flood the hatchery's and lodge but it had not gotten close to either.

what a bummer! Me and my dad are supposed to be chest deep fishing @ Montauk right now but alas, here I sit at work instead. Could be much worse I guess, luckily we're basically on "The Hill" in S. City STL. Thoughts and prayers to those in the quagmire. Hope the water receeds ASAP.

I was down there last week and was forced to stay an extra night at the park because we couldn't get out. I guess there are worse places to be stuck;-).

Took lots of pictures of the flood water, fishing was great on Monday and a couple were caught Tuesday. By the time, we had our cars halfway packed up, it was too late. The water came up 4-5 feet in the matter of an hour.
