She came up fast and back down fast. We needed this flood for channel flush. Maybe walleye will swim up

It's amazing what a couple days of heavy rain can do. Drove across it Monday and it barely had any water in it at Valley Park...Half way up the train trestle pilings today...

Unfortunately, small episodes of high water like this sometimes do more harm than good. The river gets just high enough that the current is strong enough to move gravel, but not strong enough to scour out pools and holes around obstructions, so the overall effect is to move gravel into the pools. You need a big flood now and then to blow gravel out of the pools and re-pile it up on the gravel bars.

On the other hand, it was a fairly warm rain, and got the rivers up enough to encourage the fish to move around, so they should now be spread out and into spawning and summering areas.

Drove over Bourbeuse yesterday on i-44 at Union. The field on the south side is almost completely flooded.

I fished yesterday on the upper Meramec, it was fishable but murky.

It looks like some gravel has moved! Be careful first trip out.
