Flooding on the North Fork of the White River.

With over a foot of rain in much of the North Fork of the White River's watershed over the last few days we are seeing an incredible amount of water in the river. This flood, although at one of the worst times of the year (losing a TON of guide trips and fishing in general) is actually a godsend. We have not seen a major rise in the river for around a year so a "flush" is much appreciated, even if it is a huge pain.

With more rain coming early this week (April 25) look for levels to yo-yo for the next few days and then begin to drop out late this week. Fishable levels 'could' be reached as early as 2 weeks....but it could be longer.

As most of you probably know pretty much every stream in southern Missouri was flooded last week. The North Fork of the White reached 60,000 cfs which is around the 5th highest level it has been since 1946. Here are a few photos...
