I can't believe how relieved I am see this rain fall across the watershed. It's a little weird.

They predicted 1-2" of rainfall,

most of the white has 4-5" and so does the Illinois.

Im about to go in the backyard and check the stage in Clear Creek.

Its gotta be 1/2 full bank at this point.

Whats really cool, this rain was warmer than our average high temp today.

Thats just crazy

Good to see the creeks running but they were so dry, this would have been a 2 foot rise if the creeks were flowing when it came. I don't think we will even see a foot rise in the lake but just stopping the drop is big news. Wish we had 2 more inches coming but doesn't look like it, maybe March will be kind to us.

The White crested at 13ft this morning.

the war eagle is at 12ft.

Im sure the lake is going to rise a couple feet at least.

I say it shoots up 6 feet, from 1108 to 1114.

Thats just a guess based on last springs rise.

I planned on running up either war eagle or the white this weekend in hopes of getting my crappie limit.

How do you think this water will effect the fishing up the rivers?

high and muddy, not so good for crappie

I don't know, but I hope you're right. So far it's up about 10", I think we'll be lucky to see a 2 foot rise.
