Greetings All:
Well, the weather service has coined a new term. We have all heard of flash floods but now there is a new term, "Flash Drought". Right now here in the Midwest there are some places along the Mississippi River that have not seen rain in the last 30 days. This has contributed to the river being extremely low. In fact, there are places on the Mississippi River where shore anglers are walking out to the middle of the river on the long wing dams far from shore to get to fishable water. With Fall just around the corner these conditions are not at all a welcome thing.
The unfortunate part is that there is no substantial rain forecast for at least the next week with rising temperatures also forecast. All these conditions combined are just adding to a serious situation. Unless we get some much needed rains, look for Fall fishing to be greatly affected. Hopefully Mother Nature will turn on the spigot and send those much need rains to the Midwest.
Unless we get these much needed rains look for the Mississippi River to keep getting lower in water levels which will adversely effect the upcoming Fall angling season. Not only that, the duck hunters will find many marsh areas that normally hold ducks and geese during the Fall will be dry. Lets hope this situation changes in the near future.
