Black river trip

I was planning on heading down to Clearwater dam early Monday morning to try for walleye before heading to duck creek lake later in the day. Should I rethink fishing this section of the river after all the rain we're had?

Probably. They've raised it 2 feet in the last couple of days, and there is high, muddy water coming into the lake. River above the lake is still rising.

Skip Clearwater and spend the whole time at Duck Creek. Unless you just want to go over there and look. I doubt if the walleye would be around. Winter months are better for them and I never hear much about them over there. St Francois has been stocked for them, but I looked at the Patterson gauge yesterday and they had a 6 foot rise from Wed/Thurs rain.

Thanks for the info I'll have to try for walleye another time
