DARK30 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looking at the graphs today, its high but coming down fast. Anybody get a visual? I might give it another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARK30 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I can't remember a more miserable trout opener than this one. The Root didn't look all that bad actually...a tad on the high side. I did find good water at a couple spots but the fish just weren't interested. I guess the worm dunkers had some limited success and I talked to one guy who managed to get two on a spinner bait. The weather is just plain crazy. Hopefully things will improve by next weekend and we'll just try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 From the cattle/dairy farms. With the rain and melting snow making run offs into the river/streams. On sat in whitewater the streams where kinda murky dark color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted4887 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I figured it was about the runoff. That's nothing new, unfortunately. But I was curious if he'd heard about a specific spill that I wasn't aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroutYammer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Not ordinary runoff...this was a huge spill:A million gallons of manure broke through a concrete-walled pit in southeastern Minnesota late Sunday night, fouling two trout streams before making its way into the Root River, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARK30 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 April 20. Still not the best conditions but found fish anyway. Water was still a little high and murky at 46 degrees. This was a new one...I got this brown that had a partially digested snake coming out of it.. Its gonna get better! Its always a good idea to stop in at Curt's place on 52 just north of Preston. He has the word on whats happening...and believe me, Curt has lots of words! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted4887 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah... Curt definitely has some words! Most of them would be censored on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARK30 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Things are really looking better down in Fillmore County. The trout are biting best in the morning and again in the evening unless its cloudy. Water up to 56 degrees. My good friend's boy with a nice big smile..
