Northern Illinois river boat'n
 

Hows the spring boating looking on the Il river? Here on the Mississippi its not happening due to flooding. Il river looks like closest solution.

we're lookin great she went up a bit with the heavy rains and back to normal where she was all last summer.. 6 to 8 is normal everyday for the charts

Kool, when you get a chance shoot me some hotel spots. Any with docks??
Sounds like where screwed here. hitting Flood stage by sunday and by mid april there expecting to break record levels.

Just head up to the Dubuque pool, thats what we do for early boating each year. They seem to be better suited for high water and the landings are easy to use. Our Savanna pool doesn't really open up till may so thats why we head up river and put in by the Yard Arm.

I'm pretty sure Dabuque was expected to break flood plane by 3-30. From all reports I've seen the high waters are expected to stay a while. I'll have to look into that area a little harder.

Thanks

:eek: well that dont sound good at all, we still have 10 to 12 foot she can rise b4 it makes it to my lawn :drink:

Sorry no Pics here you little cum guzzler :wuerg019:

did you guys get a boat load of rain since the sn@w melt ?? possibly North in Minnesota ? we definetly are'nt sending anything out of the norm down to the mississippi ..I've seen her 18 ' foot higher then where she is this morn :boat:

It is not the rain that is the main cause but the amount of snow yet to melt up north and then I think they got hit with the single most amount of snow this winter yesterday. The Dubuque pool works out better than the Savanna pool because the Savanna pool holds an enormous amount of water, so to save southern pools they fill and hold as much as they can in the Savanna one. Dubuque area set up better to handle high water and still function.

the dubuque pool is three corners and the Sorceror stomping grounds ay???:drink:

just took a quick glance at lock 11, dabuque. They are expecting to reach flood stage around the 29 or 30th.
Hope your right about dabuques pool as that would also be a short travel for me.

here are some predictions for lock & dam 11

dayum Brutha thats some serious water ,looks like things are gunna get UGLY ..are there houses & business along your pool or just woods & farm fields ?? i'm remembering the dubuque pool had biz & marinas :eek:

pools here in LeClaire & Quad cities have many homes and buisness lining it. Sandbagging prep has been going on here for last week & half. My home is on the top of the hill here and I get to safely watch river from back patio. :drink:
City was here at work today filling kritter holes in our levee's today. :eek: near future here looks pretty sh!tty.
When weather breaks Im sure you'll be seeing me near your river..

Let me know you can alwayz find us at Boondocks or Springbrook :drink:

what kind of smallville is that place?? River here is sh!t and looking there, I could not find any kind of lodging close enough to stumble off the docks too. 20 -30 min drive is for the birds if I was to have a good time.:angry-smiley-038:

smallville :lolhit: the river is lookin good Bro boats & jet skis all over this last weekend :drink:

Ran lock to lock saturday and sunday,conditions here are great. Boondocks use to have floating houses with docks for rent,not sure if they still do. 815 357 1100 is #

Boondocks = good food, drink :food-smiley-009: & the TIKI Bar = good fun,spirits, cocktails :ernaehrung004:
