River level on pool 9 has stabilized about a foot higher than a week ago. Water clarity is good. Water temp has warmed about 4 degrees since Wednesday to 62-63 on main channel. Have targeted walleyes on rocks the past couple of days. #BillLewisLures MR-6 in ‘Caitlin” pattern and oxbow pattern Rat-L-Trap both catching fish. With River still a little high, boat position/presentation are KEY in hooking up

Holiday crowd started showing up when we got off the water at 11 this morning. Saw a lion, 2 tigers, 2 elephants,5 clowns and some guy in a top hat pull up in a Baraboo-wrapped party bus when leaving the ramp. The circus is definitely in town! I plan on avoiding the River like it was a wrinkle wranch with Wuhan bat infestation issues til at least Tuesday
